We introduce many-body caging as a novel mechanism for nonthermal behaviour in quantum matter. We define many-body cages as eigenstates that, through quantum interference, become localised on a subgraph of the many-body state graph. These many-body cages can lead to the formation of flat bands in the many-body spectrum at characteristic, system-independent energies. These flat bands can realize a novel type of glassy eigenspectrum order in the absence of disorder, which we quantify by a band-overlap order parameter with an intricate, possibly fractal, distribution over the many-body state graph. We further show that these many-body cages exhibit distinctive signatures in experimentally accessible quantities, such as through a nonvanishing long-time memory of the initial condition, and many-body Rabi oscillations set by the characteristic flat band energies. While our predictions in principle apply to any constrained quantum system, we demonstrate them here for 2D lattice gauge theories and models relevant for current experiments in Rydberg atoms. We expect that these many-body cages offer a promising route to realize nonequilibrium quantum states with novel properties.

Constructing Quantum Many-Body Scars from Hilbert Space Fragmentation
In a kinetically constrained triangular ladder, short strings act as quasiparticles that create exact quantum many-body scars, while colliding strings give approximate scars with two-body-loss damping.

Preparation of cat states in many-body eigenbasis via non-local measurement
Periodically checking that a spin-1 XY chain is not in a chosen product state leaves a dark manifold of resonantly degenerate eigenstates, producing GHZ-like and time-oscillating cat states at long times.
