The Lanczos process has been analytically and exactly carried out for the spin 1/2 isotropic XY chain in the thermodynamic limit, yielding a form for the Lanczos coefficient $\beta^2(s)$. This coefficient has a monotonic variation for real…
We derive exact results for the Lindblad equation for a quantum spin chain (one-dimensional quantum compass model) with dephasing noise. The system possesses doubly degenerate nonequilibrium steady states due to the presence of a conserved…
The quantum spin $1/2$ XXZ chain with anisotropy parameter $\Delta=-1/2$ possesses a dynamic supersymmetry on the lattice. This supersymmetry and a generalisation to higher spin are investigated in the case of open spin chains. A family of…

We study the interplay between disorder and a quasi periodic coupling array in an external magnetic field in a spin-1/2 XXZ chain. A simple real space decimation argument is used to estimate the magnetization values where plateaux show up.…
We propose a method for deriving Lindblad-like master equations when the environment/reservoir is consigned to a classical description. As a proof of concept, we apply the method to continuous wave (CW) magnetic resonance. We make use of a…
Motivated by a recent experiment on a square-lattice Rydberg atom array realizing a long-range dipolar XY model [Chen et al., Nature (2023)], we numerically study the model's equilibrium properties. We obtain the phase diagram, critical…
We calculate certain string correlation functions, originally introduced as order parameters in integer spin chains, for the spin-1/2 XXZ Heisenberg chain at zero temperature and in the thermodynamic limit. For small distances, we obtain…

We determine dynamical response functions $<{\cal O}^\dagger(t,x_1){\cal O}(0,x_2)>$ in the scaling limit of the quantum Ising chain on the half line in the presence of a boundary magnetic field. Using a spectral representation in terms of…
We find an exact nonequilibrium steady state of an open dissipatively driven XXZ spin-1/2 chain with source or sink spin bath at one end and an arbitrary boundary field at the other end.
Exactly solvable Hamiltonians with spin liquid ground states have proven to be extremely useful, not only because they unambiguously demonstrate that these phases can arise in systems of interacting spins but also as a pedagogical…
