We have proposed an exactly solvable quantum spin-3/2 model on a square lattice. Its ground state is a quantum spin liquid with a half integer spin per unit cell. The fermionic excitations are gapless with a linear dispersion, while the topological vison excitations are gapped. Moreover, the massless Dirac fermions are stable. Thus, this model is, to the best of our knowledge, the first exactly solvable model of half-integer spins whose ground state is an algebraic spin liquid.

In this paper we introduce an exactly solvable Kondo lattice model without any fine-tuning local gauge symmetry. This model describes itinerant electrons interplaying with a localized magnetic moment via only longitudinal Kondo exchange. Its solvabil ity results from conservation of the localized moment at each site, and is valid for arbitrary lattice geometry and electron filling. A case study on square lattice shows that the ground state is a N{e}el antiferromagnetic insulator at half-filling. At finite temperature, paramagnetic phases including a Mott insulator and correlated metal are found. The former is a melting antiferromagnetic insulator with a strong short-range magnetic fluctuation, while the latter corresponds to a Fermi liquid-like metal. Monte Carlo simulation and theoretical analysis demonstrate that the transition from paramagnetic phases into the antiferromagnetic insulator is a continuous $2D$ Ising transition. Away from half-filling, patterns of spin stripes (inhomogeneous magnetic order) at weak coupling, and phase separation at strong coupling are predicted. With established Ising antiferromagnetism and spin stripe orders, our model may be relevant to a heavy fermion compound CeCo(In$_{1-x}$Hg$_{x}$)$_{5}$ and novel quantum liquid-crystal order in a hidden order compound URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$.
We introduce in this paper an exact solvable BCS-Hubbard model in arbitrary dimensions. The model describes a p-wave BCS superconductor with equal spin pairing moving on a bipartite (cubic, square etc.) lattice with on site Hubbard interaction $U$. W e show that the model becomes exactly solvable for arbitrary $U$ when the BCS pairing amplitude $Delta$ equals the hopping amplitude $t$. The nature of the solution is described in detail in this paper. The construction of the exact solution is parallel to the exactly solvable Kitaev honeycomb model for $S=1/2$ quantum spins and can be viewed as a generalization of Kitaevs construction to $S=1/2$ interacting lattice fermions. The BCS-Hubbard model discussed in this paper is just an example of a large class of exactly solvable lattice fermion models that can be constructed similarly.
We establish a direct connection between inhomogeneous XX spin chains (or free fermion systems with nearest-neighbors hopping) and certain QES models on the line giving rise to a family of weakly orthogonal polynomials. We classify all such models an d their associated XX chains, which include two families related to the Lame (finite gap) quantum potential on the line. For one of these chains, we numerically compute the Renyi bipartite entanglement entropy at half filling and derive an asymptotic approximation thereof by studying the models continuous limit, which turns out to describe a massless Dirac fermion on a suitably curved background. We show that the leading behavior of the entropy is that of a $c=1$ critical system, although there is a subleading $log(log N)$ correction (where $N$ is the number of sites) unusual in this type of models.

We address the question whether observables of an exactly solvable model of electrons coupled to (optical) phonons relax into large time stationary state values and investigate if the asymptotic expectation values can be computed using a stationary d ensity matrix. Two initial nonequilibrium situations are considered. A sudden quench of the electron-phonon coupling, starting from the noninteracting canonical equilibrium at temperature T in the electron as well as in the phonon subsystems, leads to a rather simple dynamics. A richer time evolution emerges if the initial state is taken as the product of the phonon vacuum and the filled Fermi sea supplemented by a highly excited additional electron. Our model has a natural set of constants of motion, with as many elements as degrees of freedom. In accordance with earlier studies of such type of models we find that expectation values which become stationary can be described by the density matrix of a generalized Gibbs ensemble which differs from that of a canonical ensemble. For the model at hand it appears to be evident that the eigenmode occupancy operators should be used in the construction of the stationary density matrix.
We study entanglement in the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model, which exhibits a continuous interaction-driven Mott transition. By virtue of the all-to-all nature of its center-of-mass conserving interactions, the model lacks dynamical spectral weight transfer, which is the key to intractability of the Hubbard model for $d>1$. In order to maintain a non-trivial Mott-like electron propagator, SU(2) symmetry is preserved in the Hamiltonian, leading to a ground state that is mixed on both sides of the phase transition. Because of this mixture, even the metal in this model is unentangled between any pair of sites, unlike free fermions whose ground state carries a filling-dependent site-site entanglement. We focus on the scaling behavior of the one- and two-site entropies $s_1$ and $s_2$, as well as the entropy density $s$, of the ground state near the Mott transition. At low temperatures in the two-dimensional Hubbard model, it was observed numerically (Walsh et al., 2018, arXiv:1807.10409) that $s_1$ and $s$ increase continuously into the metal, across a first-order Mott transition. In the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model, $s_1$ acquires the constant value $ln4$ even at the Mott transition. The ground states non-trivial entanglement structure is manifest in $s_2$ and $s$ which decrease into the metal, and thereby act as sharp signals of the Mott transition in any dimension. Specifically, we find that in one dimension, $s_2$ and $s$ exhibit kinks at the transition while in $d=2$, only $s$ exhibits a kink.
