Description

We prove that a special Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model is quasi-exactly solvable with solutions that can be expressed in the SU(2) coherent state form. Ground-state properties of the model are studied analytically. We also show that the model reduces to the standard two-site Bose-Hubbard model in the large-N limit for finite U/t or large (N - 1)|U|/t cases with finite N, which proves that in these cases the ground state of the standard two-site Bose-Hubbard model is an SU(2) coherent state.
