Abstract:
A broad range of quantum optimization problems can be phrased as the question of whether a specific system has a ground state at zero energy, i.e., whether its Hamiltonian is frustration-free. Frustration-free Hamiltonians, in turn, play a central role for constructing and understanding new phases of matter in quantum many-body physics. Unfortunately, determining whether this is the case is known to be a complexity-theoretically intractable problem. This makes it highly desirable to search for efficient heuristics and algorithms to, at least, partially answer this question. Here we prove a general criterion—a sufficient condition—under which a local Hamiltonian is guaranteed to be frustration-free by lifting Shearer’s theorem from classical probability theory to the quantum world. Remarkably, evaluating this condition proceeds via a fully classical analysis of a hardcore lattice gas at negative fugacity on the Hamiltonian’s interaction graph, which, as a statistical mechanics problem, is of interest in its own right. We concretely apply this criterion to local Hamiltonians on various regular lattices, while bringing to bear the tools of spin glass physics that permit us to obtain new bounds on the satisfiable to unsatisfiable transition in random quantum satisfiability. We are then led to natural conjectures for when such bounds will be tight, as well as to a novel notion of universality for these computer science problems. Besides providing concrete algorithms leading to detailed and quantitative insights, this work underscores the power of marrying classical statistical mechanics with quantum computation and complexity theory.

Abstract:
We extend the standard intertwining relations used in supersymmetrical (SUSY) quantum mechanics which involve real superpotentials to complex superpotentials. This allows us to deal with a large class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and to study in general the isospectrality between complex potentials. In very specific cases we can construct in a natural way "quasicomplex" potentials which we define as complex potentials having a global property so as to lead to a Hamiltonian with real spectrum. We also obtained a class of complex transparent potentials whose Hamiltonian can be intertwined to a free Hamiltonian. We provide a variety of examples both for the radial problem (half axis) and for the standard one-dimensional problem (the whole axis), including remarks concerning scattering problems.

Abstract:
We study the complexity of the Local Hamiltonian Problem (denoted as LH-MIN) in the special case when a Hamiltonian obeys the condition that all off-diagonal matrix elements in the standard basis are real and non-positive. We will call such Hamiltonians, which are common in the natural world, stoquastic. An equivalent characterization of stoquastic Hamiltonians is that they have an entry-wise non-negative Gibbs density matrix for any temperature. We prove that LH-MIN for stoquastic Hamiltonians belongs to the complexity class \AM{}--- a probabilistic version of \NP{} with two rounds of communication between the prover and the verifier. We also show that $2$-local stoquastic LH-MIN is hard for the class \MA. With the additional promise of having a polynomial spectral gap, we show that stoquastic LH-MIN belongs to the class \POSTBPP=\BPPpath --- a generalization of \BPP{} in which a post-selective readout is allowed. This last result also shows that any problem solved by adiabatic quantum computation using stoquastic Hamiltonians is in PostBPP.

Abstract:
Quantum computing can efficiently simulate Hamiltonian dynamics of many-body quantum physics, a task that is generally intractable with classical computers. The hardness lies at the ubiquitous anti-commutative relations of quantum operators, in corresponding with the notorious negative sign problem in classical simulation. Intuitively, Hamiltonians with more commutative terms are also easier to simulate on a quantum computer, and anti-commutative relations generally cause more errors, such as in the product formula method. Here, we theoretically explore the role of anti-commutative relation in Hamiltonian simulation. We find that, contrary to our intuition, anti-commutative relations could also reduce the hardness of Hamiltonian simulation. Specifically, Hamiltonians with mutually anti-commutative terms are easy to simulate, as what happens with ones consisting of mutually commutative terms. Such a property is further utilized to reduce the algorithmic error or the gate complexity in the truncated Taylor series quantum algorithm for general problems. Moreover, we propose two modified linear combinations of unitaries methods tailored for Hamiltonians with different degrees of anti-commutation. We numerically verify that the proposed methods exploiting anti-commutative relations could significantly improve the simulation accuracy of electronic Hamiltonians. Our work sheds light on the roles of commutative and anti-commutative relations in simulating quantum systems.

We examine the problem of determining if a 2-local Hamiltonian is stoquastic by local basis changes. We analyze this problem for two-qubit Hamiltonians, presenting some basic tools and giving a concrete example where using unitaries beyond Clifford rotations is required in order to decide stoquasticity. We report on simple results for n-qubit Hamiltonians with identical 2-local terms on bipartite graphs. Our most significant result is that we give an efficient algorithm to determine whether an arbitrary n-qubit XYZ Heisenberg Hamiltonian is stoquastic by local basis changes.

Abstract:
We show that the NP-complete problems max cut and independent set can be formulated as the 2-local Hamiltonian problem as defined by Kitaev. The 5-local Hamiltonian problem was the first problem to be shown to be complete for the quantum complexity class QMA — the quantum analog of NP. Subsequently, it was shown that 3-locality is already sufficient for QMA-completeness. It is still not known whether the 2-local Hamiltonian problem is QMA-complete. Therefore it is interesting to determine what problems can be reduced to the 2-local Hamiltonian problem. Kitaev showed that 3-SAT can be formulated as a 3-local Hamiltonian problem. We extend his result by showing that 2-locality is sufficient in order to encompass NP.

Abstract:
For singular potentials in quantum mechanics it can happen that the Schrödinger operator is not esssentially self-adjoint on a natural domain, i.e., each self-adjoint extension is a candidate for the right physical Hamiltonian. Traditional way to single out this Hamiltonian is the removing cut-offs for regularizing potential. Connecting regularization and extension theory we develop an abstract operator method to treat the problem of the right Hamiltonian. We show that, using the notion of the maximal (with respect to the perturbation) Friedrichs extension of unperturbed operator, one can classify the above problem as wellposed or ill-posed depending on intersection of the quadratic form domain of perturbation and deficiency subspace corresponding to restriction of unperturbed operator to stability domain. If this intersection is trivial, then the right Hamiltonian is unique: it coincides with the form sum of perturbation and the Friedrich extension of the unperturbed operator restricted to the stability domain. Otherwise it is not unique: the family of “right Hamiltonians” can be described in terms of symmetric extensions reducing the ill-posed problem to the well-posed problem.

Abstract:
The commutator length of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism f ∈ Ham (M,ω) of a closed symplectic manifold (M,ω) is by definition the minimal k such that f can be written as a product of k commutators in Ham (M,ω). We introduce a new invariant for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, called the k+-area, which measures the "distance", in a certain sense, to the subspace [Formula: see text] of all products of k commutators. Therefore, this invariant can be seen as the obstruction to writing a given Hamiltonian diffeomorphism as a product of k commutators. We also consider an infinitesimal version of the commutator problem: what is the obstruction to writing a Hamiltonian vector field as a linear combination of k Lie brackets of Hamiltonian vector fields? A natural problem related to this question is to describe explicitly, for every fixed k, the set of linear combinations of k such Lie brackets. The problem can be obviously reformulated in terms of Hamiltonians and Poisson brackets. For a given Morse function f on a symplectic Riemann surface M (verifying a weak genericity condition) we describe the linear space of commutators of the form {f, g}, with [Formula: see text].

Abstract:
We present the problem of approximating the time-evolution operatore−iH^tto errorϵ, where the HamiltonianH^=(⟨G|⊗I^)U^(|G⟩⊗I^)is the projection of a unitary oracleU^onto the state|G⟩created by another unitary oracle. Our algorithm solves this with a query complexityO(t+log⁡(1/ϵ))to both oracles that is optimal with respect to all parameters in both the asymptotic and non-asymptotic regime, and also with low overhead, using at most two additional ancilla qubits. This approach to Hamiltonian simulation subsumes important prior art considering Hamiltonians which ared-sparse or a linear combination of unitaries, leading to significant improvements in space and gate complexity, such as a quadratic speed-up for precision simulations. It also motivates useful new instances, such as whereH^is a density matrix. A key technical result is `qubitization', which uses the controlled version of these oracles to embed anyH^in an invariantSU(2)subspace. A large class of operator functions ofH^can then be computed with optimal query complexity, of whiche−iH^tis a special case.

Abstract:
Abstract Many Hamiltonian problems in the solar system are separable into two analytically solvable parts, and thus serve as a great chance to develop and apply explicit symplectic integrators based on operator splitting and composing. However, such constructions are not in general available for curved spacetimes in general relativity and modified theories of gravity because these curved spacetimes correspond to nonseparable Hamiltonians without the two-part splits. Recently, several black hole spacetimes such as the Schwarzschild black hole were found to allow for the construction of explicit symplectic integrators, since their corresponding Hamiltonians are separable into more than two explicitly integrable pieces. Although some other curved spacetimes including the Kerr black hole do not have such multipart splits, their corresponding appropriate time-transformation Hamiltonians do. In fact, the key problem in obtaining symplectic analytically integrable decomposition algorithms is how to split these Hamiltonians or time-transformation Hamiltonians. Considering this idea, we develop explicit symplectic schemes in curved spacetimes. We introduce a class of spacetimes whose Hamiltonians are directly split into several explicitly integrable terms. For example, the Hamiltonian of a rotating black ring has a 13-part split. We also present two sets of spacetimes whose appropriate time-transformation Hamiltonians have the desirable splits. For instance, an eight-part split exists in a time-transformed Hamiltonian of a Kerr–Newman solution with a disformal parameter. In this way, the proposed symplectic splitting methods can be used widely for long-term integrations of orbits in most curved spacetimes we know of.

In this paper, we discuss the adiabatic evolution of one-dimensional projector Hamiltonians. Three kinds of adiabatic algorithms for this problem are shown, in which two of them provide a quadratic speedup over the other one. But when the ground state of the initial Hamiltonian and that of the final Hamiltonian have a zero overlap, the algorithms above all fail, in the sense of infinite time complexity. A corresponding revised method for this phenomenon through adding a driving Hamiltonian is also shown, from which a constant time complexity can be gained. But by a simple analysis, we find that the original time complexity for the adiabatic evolution is shifted to implement the driving Hamiltonian, which is supported by several early works in the literature.

Abstract:
This paper studies the Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCP) and the traveling salesman problem (TSP) on D-Wave quantum systems. Motivated by the fact that most libraries present their benchmark instances in terms of adjacency matrices, we develop a novel matrix formulation for the HCP and TSP Hamiltonians, which enables the seamless and automatic integration of benchmark instances in quantum platforms. We also present a thorough mathematical analysis of the precise number of constraints required to express the HCP and TSP Hamiltonians. This analysis explains quantitatively why, almost always, running incomplete graph instances requires more qubits than complete instances. It turns out that QUBO models for incomplete graphs require more quadratic constraints than complete graphs, a fact that has been corroborated by a series of experiments. Moreover, we introduce a technique for the min-max normalization for the coefficients of the TSP Hamiltonian to address the problem of invalid solutions produced by the quantum annealer, a trend often observed. Our extensive experimental tests have demonstrated that the D-Wave Advantage_system4.1 is more efficient than the Advantage_system1.1, both in terms of qubit utilization and the quality of solutions. Finally, we experimentally establish that the D-Wave hybrid solvers always provide valid solutions, without violating the given constraints, even for arbitrarily big problems up to 120 nodes.

We formulate an optimization problem of Hamiltonian design based on the variational principle.

Using fractional quantum Hall effect as a test system we illustrate how the framework can be used to determine a generating Hamiltonian of a finite-size model wavefunction (Moore-Read Pfaffian and Read-Rezayi states), find optimal conditions for an experiment or "extrapolate" given wavefunctions in a certain universality class from smaller to larger system sizes. We also discuss how the search for approximate generating Hamiltonians may be used to find simpler and more realistic models implementing the given exotic phase of matter by experimentally accessible interaction terms.

Abstract:
This paper proposes an application algorithm based on a quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) for wireless scheduling problems. QAOA is one of the promising hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems and it provides great approximate solutions to non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard problems. QAOA maps the given problem into Hilbert space, and then it generates the Hamiltonian for the given objective and constraint. Then, QAOA finds proper parameters from the classical optimization loop in order to optimize the expectation value of the generated Hamiltonian. Based on the parameters, the optimal solution to the given problem can be obtained from the optimum of the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. Inspired by QAOA, a quantum approximate optimization for scheduling (QAOS) algorithm is proposed. The proposed QAOS designs the Hamiltonian of the wireless scheduling problem which is formulated by the maximum weight independent set (MWIS). The designed Hamiltonian is converted into a unitary operator and implemented as a quantum gate operation. After that, the iterative QAOS sequence solves the wireless scheduling problem. The novelty of QAOS is verified with simulation results implemented via Cirq and TensorFlow-Quantum.

Lov?sz conjectured that every connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamiltonian path. The odd graphs Ok form a well-studied family of connected, k-regular, vertex-transitive graphs. It was previously known that Ok has Hamiltonian paths for k ? 14. A direct computation of Hamiltonian paths in Ok is not feasible for large values of k, because Ok has (2k - 1, k - 1) vertices and k/2 (2k - 1, k - 1) edges. We show that Ok has Hamiltonian paths for 15 ? k ? 18. Instead of directly running any heuristics, we use existing results on the middle levels problem, therefore further relating these two fundamental problems, namely finding a Hamiltonian path in the odd graph and finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding middle levels graph. We show that further improved results for the middle levels problem can be used to find Hamiltonian paths in Ok for larger values of k.

Determination of the mean-field Hamiltonian parameters can be seen as gathering information about all the single-particle states out of a very partial information on only a few experimentally known levels. This is exactly what the inverse problem in applied mathematics is about. We illustrate some of the related concepts in view of a preparation of the fully statistically significant parameter adjustment procedures. For this purpose we construct the exactly soluble inverse problems associated with the realistic and phenomenologically powerful nuclear Woods-Saxon Hamiltonian and we analyse a few both physical and mathematical aspects of such procedures. Presented illustrations suggest that to be able to discuss the predictive power of the mean-field Hamiltonians the parameter adjustment procedures must be based on a relatively complex statistical analysis partially addressed in Ref.1

Abstract:
We consider a quantum computer consisting of n spins with an arbitrary but fixed pair-interaction Hamiltonian and describe how to simulate other pair-interactions by interspersing the natural time evolution with fast local transformations. Calculating the minimal time overhead of such a simulation leads to a convex optimization problem. Lower and upper bounds on the minimal time overhead are derived in terms of chromatic indices of interaction graphs and spectral majorization criteria. These results classify Hamiltonians with respect to their computational power. For a specific Hamiltonian, namely \sigma_z\otimes\sigma_z-interactions between all spins, the optimization is mathematically equivalent to a separability problem of n-qubit density matrices. We compare the complexity defined by such a quantum computer with the usual gate complexity.

Abstract:
The problem of simulating sparse Hamiltonians on quantum computers is well studied. The evolution of a sparse $N \times N$ Hamiltonian $H$ for time $t$ can be simulated using $\O(\norm{Ht} \poly(\log N))$ operations, which is essentially optimal due to a no--fast-forwarding theorem. Here, we consider non-sparse Hamiltonians and show significant limitations on their simulation. We generalize the no--fast-forwarding theorem to dense Hamiltonians, ruling out generic simulations taking time $\o(\norm{Ht})$, even though $\norm{H}$ is not a unique measure of the size of a dense Hamiltonian $H$. We also present a stronger limitation ruling out the possibility of generic simulations taking time $\poly(\norm{Ht},\log N)$, showing that known simulations based on discrete-time quantum walk cannot be dramatically improved in general. On the positive side, we show that some non-sparse Hamiltonians can be simulated efficiently, such as those with graphs of small arboricity.

Abstract:
There is a class of quantum Hamiltonians known as Rokhsar–Kivelson (RK)–Hamiltonians for which static ground state properties can be obtained by evaluating thermal expectation values for classical models. The ground state of an RK–Hamiltonian is known explicitly, and its dynamical properties can be obtained by performing a classical Monte Carlo simulation. We discuss the details of a Diffusion Monte Carlo method that is a good tool for studying statics and dynamics of perturbed RK–Hamiltonians without time discretization errors. As a general result we point out that the relation between the quantum dynamics and classical Monte Carlo simulations for RK–Hamiltonians follows from the known fact that the imaginary-time evolution operator describing optimal importance sampling, where the exact ground state is used as guiding function, is Markovian. Thus quantum dynamics can be studied by classical Monte Carlo for any Hamiltonian provided its ground state is known explicitly and that there is no sign problem.

Abstract:
AbstractA family of quantum Hamiltonians is said to be universal if any other finite-dimensional Hamiltonian can be approximately encoded within the low-energy space of a Hamiltonian from that family. If the encoding is efficient, universal families of Hamiltonians can be used as universal analogue quantum simulators and universal quantum computers, and the problem of approximately determining the ground-state energy of a Hamiltonian from a universal family is QMA-complete. One natural way to categorise Hamiltonians into families is in terms of the interactions they are built from. Here we prove universality of some important classes of interactions on qudits (d-level systems): We completely characterise the k-qudit interactions which are universal, if augmented with arbitrary Hermitian 1-local terms. We find that, for all $$k \geqslant 2$$ k ⩾ 2 and all local dimensions $$d \geqslant 2$$ d ⩾ 2 , almost all such interactions are universal aside from a simple stoquastic class. We prove universality of generalisations of the Heisenberg model that are ubiquitous in condensed-matter physics, even if free 1-local terms are not provided. We show that the SU(d) and SU(2) Heisenberg interactions are universal for all local dimensions $$d \geqslant 2$$ d ⩾ 2 (spin $$\geqslant 1/2$$ ⩾ 1 / 2 ), implying that a quantum variant of the Max-d-Cut problem is QMA-complete. We also show that for $$d=3$$ d = 3 all bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg interactions are universal. One example is the general AKLT model. We prove universality of any interaction proportional to the projector onto a pure entangled state.

Abstract:
For an optimization problem known to be NP-Hard, the dichotomy study investigates the reduction instances to determine the line separating polynomial-time solvable vs NP-Hard instances (easy vs hard instances). In this paper, we investigate the well-studied Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCYCLE), and present an interesting dichotomy result on split graphs. T. Akiyama et al. (1980) have shown that HCYCLE is NP-complete on planar bipartite graphs with maximum degree [Formula: see text]. We use this result to show that HCYCLE is NP-complete for [Formula: see text]-free split graphs. Further, we present polynomial-time algorithms for Hamiltonian cycle in [Formula: see text]-free and [Formula: see text]-free split graphs. We believe that the structural results presented in this paper can be used to show similar dichotomy result for Hamiltonian path problem and other variants of Hamiltonian cycle (path) problems.

This paper provides a proof of NP-completeness of the problem of the placement of the graph. Thus, it is concluded that the algorithmization of the graph placement problem requires an approach based on heuristic or stochastic methods. To prove the NP-completeness of the graph placement problem, we use the well-known NP-complete Hamiltonian cycle search problem. It is shown that the graph placement problem is a generalization over the Hamiltonian cycle problem. Also the problem of the placement of the graph as the optimization and presents some auxiliary results, which are set nalivayut the connection between the two problems: NP-complete optimization problem and embed the graph.

Abstract:
The tunneling Hamiltonian is a proven method to treat particle tunneling between different states represented as wavefunctions in many-body physics. Our problem is how to apply a wave functionals formulation of tunneling Hamiltonians to a driven sine-Gordon system. We apply a generalization of the tunneling Hamiltonian to charge density wave (CDW) transport problems in which we consider tunneling between states that are wave functionals of a scalar quantum field ϕ. We present derived I–E curves that match Zenier curves used to fit data experimentally with wave functionals congruent with the false vacuum hypothesis. The open question is whether the coefficients picked in both the wave functionals and the magnitude of the coefficients of the driven sine Gordon physical system should be picked by topological charge arguments that in principle appear to assign values that have a tie in with the false vacuum hypothesis first presented by Sidney Coleman.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent work has characterized rigorously what it means for one quantum system to simulate another and demonstrated the existence of universal Hamiltonians—simple spin lattice Hamiltonians that can replicate the entire physics of any other quantum many-body system. Previous universality results have required proofs involving complicated ‘chains’ of perturbative ‘gadgets.’ In this paper, we derive a significantly simpler and more powerful method of proving universality of Hamiltonians, directly leveraging the ability to encode quantum computation into ground states. This provides new insight into the origins of universal models and suggests a deep connection between universality and complexity. We apply this new approach to show that there are universal models even in translationally invariant spin chains in 1D. This gives as a corollary a new Hamiltonian complexity result that the local Hamiltonian problem for translationally invariant spin chains in one dimension with an exponentially small promise gap is PSPACE-complete. Finally, we use these new universal models to construct the first known toy model of 2D–1D holographic duality between local Hamiltonians.

Abstract:
Many classical problems of Mechanics can be studied regarding them as perturbations of integrable systems; this is the case of the fast rotations of the rigid body in an arbitrary potential, the restricted three body problem with small values of the mass-ratio, and others. However, the application of the classical results of Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory to these systems encounters difficulties due to the presence of the so-called ‘degeneracy’. More precisely, the Hamiltonian of a quasi-integrable degenerate system looks likewhere (I, φ) є U × Tn, U ⊆ Rn, are action-angle type coordinates, while the degeneracy of the system manifests itself with the presence of the ‘degenerate’ variables (p, q) є B ⊆ R2m. The KAM theorem has been applied under quite general assumptions to degenerate Hamiltonians (Arnold, 1963), while the Nekhoroshev theorem (Nekhoroshev, 1977) provides, if h is convex, the following bounds: there exist positive ε0, a0, t0 such that if ε < ε0 then if where Te is the escape time of the solution from the domain of (1). An escape is possible because the motion of the degenerate variables can be bounded in principle only by , and so over the time they can experience large variations. Therefore, there is the problem of individuating which assumptions on the perturbation and on the initial data allow to control the motion of the degenerate variables over long times.

Full text
Abstract:
Quenching and annealing are extreme opposites in the time evolution of a quantum system: Annealing explores equilibrium phases of a Hamiltonian with slowly changing parameters and can be exploited as a tool for solving complex optimization problems. In contrast, quenches are sudden changes of the Hamiltonian, producing a non-equilibrium situation. Here, we investigate the relation between the two cases. Specifically, we show that the minimum of the annealing gap, which is an important bottleneck of quantum annealing algorithms, can be revealed from a dynamical quench parameter which describes the dynamical quantum state after the quench. Combined with statistical tools including the training of a neural network, the relation between quench and annealing dynamics can be exploited to reproduce the full functional behavior of the annealing gap from the quench data. We show that the partial or full knowledge about the annealing gap which can be gained in this way can be used to design optimized quantum annealing protocols with a practical time-to-solution benefit. Our results are obtained from simulating random Ising Hamiltonians, representing hard-to-solve instances of the exact cover problem.

Abstract:
This paper develops a version of Robust Stochastic Maximum Principle (RSMP) applied to the Minimax Mayer Problem formulated for stochastic differential equations with the control-dependent diffusion term. The parametric families of first and second order adjoint stochastic processes are introduced to construct the corresponding Hamiltonian formalism. The Hamiltonian function used for the construction of the robust optimal control is shown to be equal to the Lebesque integral over a parametric set of the standard stochastic Hamiltonians corresponding to a fixed value of the uncertain parameter. The paper deals with a cost function given at finite horizon and containing the mathematical expectation of a terminal term. A terminal condition, covered by a vector function, is also considered. The optimal control strategies, adapted for available information, for the wide class of uncertain systems given by an stochastic differential equation with unknown parameters from a given compact set, are constructed. This problem belongs to the class of minimax stochastic optimization problems. The proof is based on the recent results obtained for Minimax Mayer Problem with a finite uncertainty set [14,43-45] as well as on the variation results of [53] derived for Stochastic Maximum Principle for nonlinear stochastic systems under complete information. The corresponding discussion of the obtain results concludes this study.

It is found that the family of isospectral interactions is determined essentially by the angular part of the potential in the basic Hamiltonian.

Abstract:
We discuss a new class of spectral problems discovered recently which occupies an intermediate position between the exactly-solvable problems (like the famous harmonic oscillator) and all others. The problems belonging to this class are distinguished by the fact that an (arbitrary) part of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions can be found algebraically, but not the whole spectrum. The reason explaining the existence of the quasi-exactly-solvable problems is a hidden dynamical symmetry present in the Hamiltonian. For one-dimensional motion, this hidden symmetry is SU(2). The simplest one-dimensional system admitting algebraization for a part of the spectrum is the anharmonic oscillator with the x6 anharmonicity and a relation between the coefficients in front of x2 and x6. We review also more complicated cases with the emphasis on pedagogical aspects. The groups SU (2)× SU (2), SO(3) and SU(3) generate two-dimensional problems with the partial algebraization of the spectrum. Typically we get Schrödinger-type equations in curved space. An intriguing relation between the algebraic structure of the Hamiltonian and the geometry of the space emerges. Another interesting development is the use of the graded algebras which allow one to construct multi-component quasi-exactly-solvable Hamiltonians.
