Transforming spin operators into fermionic operators and finding their anticommutation relations
The Jordan-Wigner transformation (JWT) is a method used in quantum mechanics to map spin operators, which are typically associated with spin-1/2 particles, to fermionic operators, which describe ...

Jordan-Wigner transformation in transverse field Ising model
Jordan-Wigner transformation provides an exact solution for transverse field Ising model in both the ferromagnetic phase and the paramagnetic phase. Yet this seems to imply that in both phases, the ...

Why is $H = J \sum_i (S^x_i S^x_{i+1} + S^y_iS^y_{i+1})$ always gapless for any spin $S$?
In the following I have in mind antiferromagnetic spin chains in periodic boundary conditions on a chain of even length $L$.
Consider the spin-$S$ spin chain
$$H = J \sum_{i=1}^L (S^x_i S^x_{i+1} + S^...

Time reversal symmetry and Bosonization
Bosonization of Spin 1/2s to fields $\phi(x)$, $\theta(x)$ is defined as (Ref: 'Quantum Physics in 1-D' by Giamarchi):
$S^z(x)=\frac{-1}{\pi}\nabla\phi(x)+\frac{(-1)^x}{\pi a}\cos 2\phi(x)$,
$S^x(x)=\...

Tunneling lowers the energy of a ground state superposition of spins up and down in the quantum Ising model
Considering an Ising model in the quantum scenario in quantum spatial dimension d=1 (that corresponds to classical D=2=d+1 dimension). Starting with the Ising model hamiltonian under the approximation ...

How to handle Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya imaginary terms in Heisenberg chain?
The DM interaction has three coordinate-specific terms when splitting it up. Two of these, the DM-x and DM-z terms, are imaginary when we transform them into series of raising and lowering operators. ...
