Exact solution of the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian

Abstract

It is shown that the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian is exactly solvable when the quantum number of the total angular momentum of the system is an integer after the Jordan-Schwinger (differential) boson realization of the SU(2) algebra. Algebraic Bethe ansatz is used to get the exact solution with the help of the SU(1,1) algebraic structure, from which a set of Bethe ansatz equations of the problem is derived. It is shown that solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations can be obtained as zeros of the Heine-Stieltjes polynomials. The total number of the four sets of the zeros equals exactly to $2J+1$ for a given integer angular momentum quantum number $J$, which proves the completeness of the solutions. It is also shown that double degeneracy in level energies may also occur in the $J\to \infty$ limit for integer $J$ case except a unique non-degenerate level with zero excitation energy.
