Abstract

We develop a systematic approach to compute physical observables of integrable spin chains with finite length. Our method is based on the Bethe ansatz solution of the integrable spin chain and computational algebraic geometry. The final results are analytic and no longer depend on Bethe roots. The computation is purely algebraic and does not rely on further assumptions or numerics. This method can be applied to compute a broad family of physical quantities in integrable quantum spin chains. We demonstrate the power of the method by computing two important quantities in quench dynamics-the diagonal entropy and the Loschmidt echo-and obtain analytic results.
