Description

The phenomenon of quantum many-body scars has received widespread attention both in theoretical and experimental physics in recent years due to its unique physical properties. In this paper, based on the su(2) algebraic relations, we propose a general method for constructing scar models by combining simple modules. This allows us to investigate many-body scar phenomena in high-spin systems. We numerically verify the thermalization and nonintegrability of this model and demonstrate the dynamical properties of the scar states. We also provide a theoretical analysis of the properties of these scar states. For spin-1 case, we find that our 1D chain model reduces to the famous PXP model [C. J. Turner et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 155134 (2018)] under special parameter conditions. In addition, due to the continuous tunability of the parameters, our model also enables us to investigate the transitions of quantum many-body scar phenomena from nonintegrable to integrable system.
