Chapter 7 illustrates the results obtained by applying the Schrödinger equation to a simple pedagogical quantum system, the particle in a one-dimensional box. The wave functions are seen to be sine waves; their wavelengths are evaluated and used to calculate the quantized energies via the de Broglie relation. An energy-level diagram of some of the energies is constructed; on it are illustrations of the corresponding wave functions and probability distributions. The wave functions are seen to be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the midpoint of the line representing the box, thereby providing a lead-in to the later exploration of certain symmetry properties of multi-electron atoms. It is next pointed out that the Schrödinger equation for this system is identical to Newton’s equation describing the vibrations of a stretched musical string. The different meaning of the two solutions is discussed, as is the concept and structure of linear superpositions of them.

These notes are based on a series of three lectures given at the Les Houches summer school on ’Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics’ in August 2018. They provide an introduction into the unusual transport properties of integrable models in the linear response regime focussing, in particular, on the spin-1/21/2 XXZ spin chain.

We study electronic properties of a one-dimensional, semi-infinite ordered chain in the presence of either absorption or amplification at each site (the site potentials having imaginary positive or negative parts) within a single-band, tight binding Hamiltonian. The spectrum in either case for an isolated (closed) quantum system becomes broader compared to the regular Bloch case. For an infinitely long ordered chain (open quantum system), the reflectance saturates to a value greater (lesser) than unity in the amplifying (absorbing) case and the transmittance decays to zero in either case. Thus, in contrast to a recent work of Pradhan and Kumar [Phys. Rev.B50, 9644 (1994)], it is not necessary to have any “synergy between wave confinement” due to any disorder or interaction induced confining mechanism on the transmitted wave and “coherent amplification by the active medium” to achieve an amplification in the reflectance.

The integrability of one-dimensional quantum mechanical many-body problems with general contact interactions is extensively studied. It is shown that besides the pure (repulsive or attractive) δ-function interaction there is another singular point interactions which gives rise to a new one-parameter family of integrable quantum mechanical many-body systems. The bound states and scattering matrices are calculated for both bosonic and fermionic statistics.
