We show how local constraints can globally shatter Hilbert space into subsectors, leading to an unexpected dynamics with features reminiscent of both many body localization and quantum scars. A crisp example of this phenomenon is provided by a fractonic circuit - a model of quantum circuit dynamics in one dimension constrained to conserve both charge and dipole moment. We show how the Hilbert space of the fractonic circuit dynamically fractures into disconnected emergent subsectors within a particular charge and dipole symmetry sector. A large number of the emergent subsectors, exponentially many in the size of the system, have dimension one and exhibit strictly localized quantum dynamics---even in the absence of spatial disorder and in the presence of temporal noise. Exponentially large localized subspaces can be proven to exist for any one dimensional fractonic circuit with finite spatial range, and provide a potentially new route for the robust storage of quantum information. Other emergent subsectors display non-trivial dynamics and may be constructed by embedding finite sized non-trivial blocks into the localized subspace. The shattering of a particular symmetry sector into a distribution of dynamical subsectors with varying sizes leads to the coexistence of high and low entanglement states, i.e. this provides a general mechanism for the production of quantum many body scars. We discuss the detailed pattern of fracturing and its implications. We also discuss other mechanisms for similarly shattering Hilbert space.

Motivated by previous works on a Floquet version of the PXP model [Mukherjee {it et al.} Phys. Rev. B 102, 075123 (2020), Mukherjee {it et al.} Phys. Rev. B 101, 245107 (2020)], we study a one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ lattice model with three-spin inte
ractions in the same constrained Hilbert space (where all configurations with two adjacent $S^z=uparrow$ spins are excluded). We show that this model possesses an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space which leads to a breakdown of thermalization upon unitary evolution starting from a large class of simple initial states. Despite the non-integrable nature of the Hamiltonian, many of its high-energy eigenstates admit a quasiparticle description. A class of these, which we dub as bubble eigenstates, have integer eigenvalues (including mid-spectrum zero modes) and strictly localized quasiparticles while another class contains mobile quasiparticles leading to a dispersion in momentum space. Other anomalous eigenstates that arise due to a {it secondary} fragmentation mechanism, including those that lead to flat bands in momentum space due to destructive quantum interference, are also discussed. The consequences of adding a (non-commuting) staggered magnetic field and a PXP term respectively to this model, where the former preserves the Hilbert space fragmentation while the latter destroys it, are discussed. A Floquet version with time-dependent staggered field also evades thermalization with additional features like freezing of exponentially many states at special drive frequencies. Finally, we map the model to a $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory coupled to dynamical fermions and discuss the interpretation of some of these anomalous states in this language. A class of gauge-invariant states show reduced mobility of the elementary charged excitations with only certain charge-neutral objects being mobile suggesting a connection to fractons.
We study information theoretic geometry in time dependent quantum mechanical systems. First, we discuss global properties of the parameter manifold for two level systems exemplified by i) Rabi oscillations and ii) quenching dynamics of the XY spin ch
ain in a transverse magnetic field, when driven across anisotropic criticality. Next, we comment upon the nature of the geometric phase from classical holonomy analyses of such parameter manifolds. In the context of the transverse XY model in the thermodynamic limit, our results are in contradiction to those in the existing literature, and we argue why the issue deserves a more careful analysis. Finally, we speculate on a novel geometric phase in the model, when driven across a quantum critical line.
In this paper, a version of polymer quantum mechanics, which is inspired by loop quantum gravity, is considered and shown to be equivalent, in a precise sense, to the standard, experimentally tested, Schroedinger quantum mechanics. The kinematical co
rnerstone of our framework is the so called polymer representation of the Heisenberg-Weyl (H-W) algebra, which is the starting point of the construction. The dynamics is constructed as a continuum limit of effective theories characterized by a scale, and requires a renormalization of the inner product. The result is a physical Hilbert space in which the continuum Hamiltonian can be represented and that is unitarily equivalent to the Schroedinger representation of quantum mechanics. As a concrete implementation of our formalism, the simple harmonic oscillator is fully developed.
Motivated by recent experiments with two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, we study fully-connected spin models subject to an additional constraint. The constraint is responsible for the Hilbert space dimension to scale only linearly with the syst
em size. We discuss the unconventional statistical physical and thermodynamic properties of such a system, in particular the absence of concentration of the underlying probability distributions. As a consequence, expectation values are less suitable to characterize such systems, and full distribution functions are required instead. Sharp signatures of phase transitions do not occur in such a setting, but transitions from singly peaked to doubly peaked distribution functions of an order parameter may be present.
While studying systems driven out of equilibrium, one usually employs a drive that is not directly coupled to the degrees of freedom of the system. In contrast to such a case, we here unveil a hitherto unexplored situation of state-dependent driving,
whereby a direct coupling exists between the two. We demonstrate the ubiquity of such a driving, and establish that it leads to a nontrivial steady-state that is qualitatively opposite to what is observed in other driven systems. Further, we show how state-dependent driving in a many-body system can be effectively captured in terms of a single-particle model. The origin of this description may ultimately be traced to the fact that state-dependent driving results in a force that undergoes repeated resetting in time.
