The master equation describing non-equilibrium one-dimensional problems like diffusion limited reactions or critical dynamics of classical spin systems can be written as a Schr\"odinger equation in which the wave function is the probability distribution and the Hamiltonian is that of a quantum chain with nearest neighbor interactions. Since many one-dimensional quantum chains are integrable, this opens a new field of applications. At the same time physical intuition and probabilistic methods bring new insight into the understanding of the properties of quantum chains. A simple example is the asymmetric diffusion of several species of particles which leads naturally to Hecke algebras and $q$-deformed quantum groups. Many other examples are given. Several relevant technical aspects like critical exponents, correlation functions and finite-size scaling are also discussed in detail.

  1. A Simple Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Yang--Baxter Integrability

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The Reshetikhin condition on a nearest-neighbour spin-chain Hamiltonian is sufficient (and necessary) for the existence of a regular difference-form Yang–Baxter R-matrix, resolving a 1980s conjecture.

  2. The boundary-driven multispecies harmonic process

    math-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A multispecies harmonic process with boundary reservoirs is introduced and proven Yang-Baxter integrable via a factorized R-matrix and open-chain K-matrices, with three dual processes.

  3. Integrable multi-species SSEP with reactive particle species

    math-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    A new integrable family of exclusion processes, the (p,q)-SSEP, adds reactive particle pairs that transform or evaporate/condensate, with exact stationary densities and currents for one class of open boundaries.

  4. Twisted symmetric exclusion processes and set-theoretical $R$-matrices

    math-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Lyubashenko solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation produce Markov processes equivalent to a twisted SSEP, whose stationary sectors are labeled exactly by a species profile and a total charge.
