Abstract

Using the Bethe ansatz, we obtain the exact solution of the master equation for the totally asymmetric exclusion process on an infinite one-dimensional lattice. We derive explicit expressions for the conditional probabilities P(x1, ... ,xN;t|y1, ... ,yN;0) of finding N particles on lattice sites x1, ... ,xN at time t with initial occupation y1, ... ,yN at time t=0.
