Fractons from confinement in one dimension

Recent work has shown that two seemingly different physical mechanisms, namely fracton behavior and confinement, can give rise to nonergodicity in one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. In this work, we demonstrate an intrinsic link between these two mechanisms by studying the dynamics of one-di...
