The high level of control and precision achievable in current synthetic quantum matter setups has enabled ﬁrst attempts at quantum-simulating various intriguing phenomena in condensed matter physics, including those probing thermalization or its absence in closed quantum systems. In a recent work [Desaules et al. , arXiv:2203.08830], we have shown that quantum many-body scars— special low-entropy eigenstates that weakly break ergodicity in nonintegrable systems—arise in spinS quantum link…
