The Tao of Physics interested and very open, and he told me something that I think is not known publicly because he never published it. He said that he was well aware of these parallels. While he was working on quantum theory he went to India to lecture and was a guest of Tagore. He talked a lot with Tagore about Indian philosophy. Heisenberg told me that these talks had helped him a lot with his work in physics, because they showed him that all these new ideas in quantum physics were in fact not all that crazy. He realized there was, in fact,
Heisenberg model (quantum) Assuming that there's only one critical point, we can conclude that the phase transition happens at formula_22. It is common to name the model depending on the values of formula_23, formula_24 and formula_6: if formula_26, the model is called the Heisenberg XYZ model; in the case of formula_27, it is the Heisenberg XXZ model; if formula_28, it is the Heisenberg XXX model. The spin 1/2 Heisenberg model in one dimension may be solved exactly using the Bethe ansatz. In the algebraic formulation, these are related to particular Quantum affine algebras and Elliptic Quantum Group in the XXZ and XYZ cases
