Building on the fundamentals introduced in part I, we employ the Bethe ansatz to study some ground-state properties (energy, magnetization, susceptibility) of the one-dimensional s=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in zero and nonzero magnetic field. The 2-spinon triplet and singlet excitations from the zero-field ground state are discussed in detail, and their energies are calculated for finite and infinite chains. Procedures for the numerical calculation of real and complex solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations are discussed and applied. The paper is designed as a tutorial for beginning graduate students. It includes 10 problems for further study.

    Canonical mapping of quantum-dot-superconductor clusters enables neural quantum-state calculations that reveal trivial singlet, Heisenberg-like, and critical regimes with 1D gaplessness and 2D triplet states.
