Fragmented quantum phases in anti-blockade regime of Rydberg atom array
Abstract
In this Letter, we report a parameter-dependent Hilbert space fragmentation in a one-dimensional Rydberg atom array under anti-blockade conditions. We identify distinct non-equilibrium dynamical phases and show that their quasi-periodic behavior arises from the interplay of multi-path interference and multi-photon cascaded excitations, reflecting fundamental differences in state connectivity and effective dimensionality. By constructing a complete phase diagram, we reveal the transition from thermalization to fragmentation, and further demonstrate a secondary fragmentation process enabled by local constraints. Our results highlight the potential of anti-blockade mechanisms for programmable non-thermal dynamics in many-body systems.
