The eigenstates of this model exhibit peculiar properties in the entanglement entropy, the apparent scaling of which is modified from a \&ldquo;volume law\&rdquo; to an \&ldquo;area law\&rdquo; after performing a partial, site-wise measurement on the system. These properties and others suggest that this model realizes a new, nonthermal phase of matter, known as a quantum disentangled liquid (QDL). The putative existence of this phase has striking implications for the foundations of quantum statistical mechanics.</span></p>},
