We study the physical content of the PT-symmetric complex extension of quantum mechanics as proposed in Bender et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 5243 (1998) and 89, 270401 (2002), and show that as a fundamental probabilistic physical theory it is…
Talk given at "Quantum Integrable Systems and Geometry" (3-7 September 2012, Olhao, Portugal) and based on joint works with S. Belliard, N. Crampe and D. Simon, see arXiv:1009.4119, arXiv:1105.4119, arXiv:1106.3264 and arXiv:1209.4269. This…
We present a discrete model theory similar in structure to ordinary quantum mechanics, but based on a finite field instead of complex amplitudes. The interpretation of this theory involves only the "modal" concepts of possibility and…
We consider a generalisation of the p+ip pairing Hamiltonian with external interaction terms. These terms allow for the exchange of particles between the system and its environment. As a result the u(1) symmetry associated with conservation…
A strongly correlated electron system associated with the quantum superalgebra ${U}_q[{osp}(2|2)]$ is studied in the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. By solving the graded reflection equation, two classes of…
We examine links between the theory of braces and set theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, and fundamental concepts from the theory of quantum integrable systems. More precisely, we make connections with Hecke algebras and we…
We study the Bethe Ansatz Equations for the Quantum KdV model, which are also known to be solved by the spectral determinants of a specific family of anharmonic oscillators called monster potentials (ODE/IM correspondence). These Bethe…
We review recent results on new physical models constructed as PT-symmetrical deformations or extensions of different types of integrable models. We present non-Hermitian versions of quantum spin chains, multi-particle systems of…
A lattice model of interacting q-oscillators, proposed in [V. Bazhanov, S. Sergeev, arXiv:hep-th/0509181], is the quantum mechanical integrable model in 2+1 dimensional space-time. Its layer-to-layer transfer-matrix is a polynomial of two…
The recently proposed PT-symmetric quantum mechanics works with complex potentials which possess, roughly speaking, a symmetric real part and an anti-symmetric imaginary part. We propose and describe a new exactly solvable model of this…
The thermodynamic Bethe ansatz approach to the study of integrable quantum field theories was introduced in the early 90s. Since then it has been known that the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations can be recast in the form of $Y$-systems.…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…
We study the ODE/IM correspondence for all the states of the quantum Boussinesq model. We consider a particular class of third order linear ordinary differential operators and show that the generalised monodromy data of such operators…
We construct integrable generalised models in a systematic way exploring different representations of the gl(N) algebra. The models are then interpreted in the context of atomic and molecular physics, most of them related to different types…
We approach the study of non--integrable models of two--dimensional quantum field theory as perturbations of the integrable ones. By exploiting the knowledge of the exact $S$-matrix and Form Factors of the integrable field theories we…
In this PhD thesis we investigate some properties of one-dimensional quantum systems, focusing on two important aspects of integrable models: Their entanglement properties at equilibrium and their dynamical correlators after a quantum…
The nested off-diagonal Bethe ansatz method is proposed to diagonalize multi-component integrable models with generic integrable boundaries. As an example, the exact solutions of the su(n)-invariant spin chain model with both periodic and…
We present an intuitive diagrammatic representation of a new class of integrable $\s$-models. It is shown that to any given diagram corresponds an integrable theory that couples $N$ WZW models with a certain number of each of the following…
Various aspects of recent works on affine quantum group symmetry of integrable 2d quantum field theory are reviewed and further clarified. A geometrical meaning is given to the quantum double, and other properties of quantum groups.…
The (quantum) pentagon relation underlies the existing constructions of three dimensional quantum topology in the combinatorial framework of triangulations. Following the recent works \cite{KashaevLuoVartanov2012,AndersenKashaev2013}, we…
