  text: Confinement is a prominent phenomenon in condensed matter and high-energy
    physics that has recently become the focus of quantum-simulation experiments of
    lattice gauge theories (LGTs). As such, a theoretical understanding of the effect
    of confinement on LGT dynamics is not only of fundamental importance, but can
    lend itself to upcoming experiments. Here, we show how confinement in a Z2 LGT
    can be locally avoided by proximity to a resonance between the fermion mass and
    the electric field strength. Furthermore, we show that this local deconfinement
    can become global for certain initial conditions, where information transport
    occurs over the entire chain. In addition, we show how this can lead to strong
    quantum many-body scarring starting in different initial states. Our findings
    provide deeper insights into the nature of confinement in Z2 LGTs and can be tested
    on current and near-term quantum devices.
