Quantum many-body scarring is a phenomenon where a chaotic system prepared in special initial conditions exhibits long-lived oscillations. It presents a novel mechanism for delaying the onset of thermalization. We realize many-body scars in a Bose-Hubbard quantum simulator, which hosts an abundance of scar states. We show the slowed growth of entanglement entropy in scarred dynamics. And we investigate the ubiquity of scarring and its interaction with quantum criticality. Our work makes the resource of scarring accessible to a broad class of ultracold-atom experiments and enables the study of such phenomena in fundamental physics such as lattice gauge theories.
