Abstract

We present an exact solution of the nonstationary Schrodinger equation for the Kondo Hamiltonian with a time-dependent spin-exchange coupling J(t)J(t) under periodic boundary conditions. Unlike previously studied time-dependent integrable models, which are rooted in the classical Yang-Baxter structure and associated Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, our approach is based on the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov framework and the quantum Yang-Baxter algebra. We demonstrate that the dynamics is integrable for a class of exchange couplings J(t)J(t) of the form λt+p(t)±(λt+p(t))2+4/3\lambda t + p(t) \pm \sqrt{(\lambda t + p(t))^2 + 4/3}, where p(t)p(t) is an arbitrary periodic function, and construct the corresponding many-body wavefunction. We also discuss extensions to other one-dimensional integrable models with linear dispersion, such as Gross-Neveu and Thirring. Our results broaden the domain of time-dependent integrability to a genuinely quantum class of models and provide a new platform for exploring coherent nonequilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated systems.
