-pairing in Hubbard models: From spectrum generating algebras to quantum many-body scars

S Moudgalya, N Regnault, BA Bernevig - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We revisit the η-pairing states in Hubbard models and explore their connections to quantum
many-body scars to discover a universal scars mechanism. η-pairing occurs due to an …
