Abstract

We study one-dimensional reaction-diffusion models described by master equations and their associated two-state quantum Hamiltonians. By choosing appropriate rates, the equations of motion decouple into certain subsets. We solve the first subset which has a close relation to the problem of lattice electrons in an electric field. In this way we obtain energy levels of a quantum chain with sites. The corresponding Hamiltonian depends on 7 parameters and does not look integrable using conventional methods. As an application, we compute the dynamical critical exponent of a new type of kinetic Ising model.
