contents Quantum information scrambling, which describes the propagation and effective loss of localinformation, is crucial for understanding the dynamics of quantum many-body systems. We report the observation of anomalous information scrambling in an atomic tweezer array with dominant van der Waals interaction. We characterize information spreading by an out-of-time-order correlator and observe persistent oscillations inside a suppressed linear light cone for the initial Neel state. Such an anomalous dynamic, which differs from both generic thermal and many-body localized scenarios, originates from weak ergodicity breaking in quantum many-body scarred systems.
