Bethe ansatz solution to integrable bosonic cube networks

TL;DR
This work develops Bethe ansatz solutions for two interacting bosonic networks restricted to a cube graph, introducing two extended Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians. By applying two canonical transformations, the cube is mapped to tractable subgraphs (double squares and a square with dimers), enabling a systematic SU(2) symmetry analysis and identification of eight commuting conserved quantities that guarantee integrability. The authors construct explicit lowest-weight and recursive bases, derive Bethe equations for each model, and provide closed-form expressions for eigenvectors and energies in terms of rapidities. The results deepen the understanding of exact solvability in bosonic networks on graphs and have potential relevance for quantum control and engineered bosonic devices on complex geometries.
Abstract
We study two extended Bose-Hubbard-type Hamiltonians representing bosonic networks restricted to the graph of a cube. For both Hamiltonians, we demonstrate that Bethe ansatz methods of solution can be employed after applying a canonical transformation of operators. We provide the resulting Bethe ansatz equations, and corresponding formulae for states and energies of both Hamiltonians.
