Localized Fock Space Cages in Kinetically Constrained Models
read the original abstract
We investigate a mechanism for non-ergodic behavior in many-body quantum systems arising from destructive interference, leading to localization in Fock space. Drawing parallels with single-particle flat-band localization and Aharonov-Bohm cages, we identify conditions under which similar interference effects in the many-body domain produce Fock space cages (FSCs)-highly localized many-body eigenstates. By interpreting Fock space as a graph where nodes represent bitstring basis states and edges denote non-zero transition amplitudes of the Hamiltonian, we analyze different kinetically constrained models. The FSCs cause non-ergodic dynamics when the system is initialized within their support, highlighting a universal interference-driven localization mechanism in many-body systems.

Floquet Many-Body Cages
Floquet circuits can be built to host many-body cages that carry topological features and π-quasienergy modes, producing time-crystalline spatiotemporal order in models such as the quantum hard disk.

Magnetic domains stabilized by symmetry-protected zero modes
Domain-wall magnetization persists indefinitely in coupled XX chains due to exponentially many chiral symmetry-protected zero modes, with a localization transition at critical interchain coupling.

Algebraic structure of Fock-state lattices
Fock-state lattices are built from Lie-algebra generators, linking their structure and dynamics to phase-space geometry and revealing when integrable Hamiltonians lack such an algebraic origin.
