Quantum Inverse Scattering Method and Correlation FunctionsThe quantum inverse scattering method is a means of finding exact solutions of two dimensional models in quantum field theory and statistical physics (such as the sine Gordon equation or the quantum nonlinear Schr dinger equation). This introduction to this important and exciting area first deals with the Bethe ansatz and calculation of physical quantities. The authors then tackle the theory of the quantum inverse scattering method before applying it
