- We investigate the stability of quantum many-body scars under perturbations, within the PXP model. We numerically compute the fidelity and average correlations to monitor the state evolution and to identify revivals. The results indicate that, on the one hand, the entanglement entropy of PXP scars exhibit great sensitivity, in the sense that their profile approaches the ones expected for thermal states already for very small perturbations. On the other hand, other scar signatures, such as the revivals of states having large overlap with scars, show remarkable robustness. Additionally, we examined the effects of minor disturbances on initial states that previously exhibited high overlap with scars and consistent revivals. Our analysis revealed that different types of disturbances can induce markedly different behaviors, such as partially "freezing" the chain, leading to sustained oscillations, or accelerating the process of thermalization.
