The author presents a series of one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians which, at their critical points, realise the minimal unitary series of conformal field theories with central charge less than 1. The models consist of ferromagnetically coupled SU(2) spins in a transverse magnetic field. He shows how the infinite spin (free boson) limit can be obtained by using the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. The analysis can be generalised to SU(3) quantum chains which realise a different series of conformal field theories at criticality .
