Quantum B\"acklund Transformations: some ideas and examples
Abstract
In this work we give a mechanical (Hamiltonian) interpretation of the so called spectrality property introduced by Sklyanin and Kuznetsov in the context of B\"acklund transformations (BTs) for finite dimensional integrable systems. The property turns out to be deeply connected with the Hamilton-Jacobi separation of variables and can lead to the explicit integration of the underlying model through the expression of the BTs. Once such construction is given, it is shown, in a simple example, that it is possible to interpret the Baxter Q operator defining the quantum BTs us the Green's function, or propagator, of the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation for the interpolating Hamiltonian.
