Are strong correlations of boundary spins possible in the absence of long-range order in the bulk?
Question about one-dimensional models with short range interaction of quantum spins, such as transverse Ising and Heisenberg models. Are there any examples when, in the ground state of the system, the ...

What is the signal of a spin wave?
From what I understand, for example in the Ising model, we can probe the correlation function via neutron scattering, and the correlation function gives the magnetic susceptibility for the system. Is ...

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^...

Is there any study about using DMRG to simulate two spin chains coupled at only several sites on each chain?
Is there any study about the DMRG simulation of such kind of systems?
or
Each blue site is a spin, for example. Only one or several spins on each chain are coupled.
