abstract
We study the onset of weak ergodicity violations in closed quantum many-body systems and focus on cases in which they occur through a transition that is controlled by a model parameter. Our analysis is based on representing quantum systems in Fock space and utilizes graph-theoretical measures. As a main result, we show that the recently introduced graph-energy centrality captures known weak ergodicity-breaking transitions via characteristic changes in its distribution. While most numerical tools are limited to small system sizes, our measure can be calculated analytically for large systems of many hundreds of sites and in some cases, even in the thermodynamic limit. We conclude by demonstrating the applicability of our Fock-space based measure to a kinetically constrained quantum model, where we find evidence for a weak ergodicity-breaking transition accompanied by glassy dynamics.
