Abstract

An overview of the quantum integrable systems (QIS) is presented. Basic concepts of the theory are highlighted stressing on the unifying algebraic properties, which not only helps to generate systematically the representative Lax operators of different models, but also solves the related eigenvalue problem in an almost model independent way. Difference between the approaches in the integrable ultralocal and nonultralocal quantum models are explained and the interrelation between the QIS and other subjects are focussed on.
