We derive a formula that expresses the local spin and held operators of fun
damental graded models in terms of the elements of the monodromy matrix. Th
is formula is a quantum analogue of the classical inverse scattering transf
orm. It applies to fundamental spin chains, such as the XYZ chain, and to a
number of important exactly solvable models of strongly correlated electro
ns, such as the supersymmetric t-J model or the EKS model.
