We find that the N-body quantum problem is exactly solvable with both bound states (with an upper bound on the particle number) and scattering states. Quantization provides an alternative way to understand various features of the classical model, such as chiral solitons and two-soliton scattering.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1997-06-10T14:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "derivative nonlinear schrodinger equation", "quantization", "n-body quantum problem", "quantum mechanics", "particle number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996cond.mat.12077S" } } }
