Quantum spin chains are prototype quantum many-body systems. They are
employed in the description of various complex physical phenomena. The goal of
this paper is to provide an introduction to the subject by focusing on the time
evolution of a Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain and interpreting the results based on
the analysis of the eigenvalues, eigenstates, and symmetries of the system. We
make available online all computer codes used to obtain our data.
