A finite-dimensional Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) of first-order differential operators is called quasi-exactly solvable if it admits a non-zero finite-dimensional \(\mathfrak g\)-module \(N \subset C^\infty\). Differential operators that form the universal enveloping algebra of \(\mathfrak g\) are called quasi-exactly solvable; and each of them induces a linear matrix operator on \(N\). The applicable aspect is that for a quasi-exactly solvable operator \(T\), the spectrum of \(T| _N\) yields an algebraically computable finite subset of the spectrum of \(T\). Mostly a survey of recent work, the paper culminates in a five-step construction of quasi-exactly solvable matrix Hamiltonians possessing algebraically computable wave functions. However, apart from some misdirected references (formulas (17), (19), (23) are referred to as (33), (38), (40), respectively), there is a considerable gap in exposition on the bottom of page 43, not present in the version available from the Los Alamos electronic preprint archive [hep-th/9603139].
