Abstract

Abstract Recently, it has been shown that the quantum spin–1/2 spin operators can be exactly transformed not only in spinless, but also in spinful canonical Fermi operators in 1D [1] and 2D [2] as well. In this paper, using the same technique based on an extended Jordan–Wigner transformation, we show in 1D that the quantum spin-1/2 operators can be exactly transformed also in spinful canonical Fermi operators of spin-1/2 fermions that are belong to two bands.

Jordan–Wigner transformation constructed for spinful fermions at spin-1/2 in two dimensions

Zsolt Gulácsi

Recently a Jordan–Wigner transformation was constructed for spinful fermions at S=1/2 spins in one dimension connecting the spin-1/2 operators to genuine spinful canonical Fermi operators. In the presented paper, this exact transformation is generalised to two dimensions.

Jordan–Wigner transformation constructed for spinful fermions at S=1/2 spins in one dimension

Zsolt Gulácsi

An exact Jordan–Wigner type of transformation is presented in 1D connecting spin-1/2 operators to spinful canonical Fermi operators. The transformation contains two free parameters allowing a broad interconnection possibility between spin models and fermionic models containing spinful Fermi operators.

Fermionic mean-field theory as a tool for studying spin Hamiltonians

Thomas M. Henderson, Brent Harrison, Ilias Magoulas +5 more

The Jordan-Wigner transformation permits one to convert spin 1/2 operators into spinless fermion ones, or vice versa. In some cases, it transforms an interacting spin Hamiltonian into a noninteracting fermionic one, which is exactly solved at the mean-field level. Even when the resulting fermionic Hamiltonian is interacting, its mean-field solution can provide surprisingly accurate energies and correlation functions. Jordan-Wigner is, however, only one possible means of interconverting spin and fermionic degrees of freedom. Here, we apply several such techniques to the XXZ and J1-J2 Heisenberg models, as well as to the pairing or reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian, with the aim of discovering which of these mappings is most useful in applying fermionic mean-field theory to the study of spin Hamiltonians.

Emulating the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model by a double chain of qubits

Jan-Michael Reiner, Michael Marthaler, Jochen Braumüller +2 more

The Jordan-Wigner transformation maps a one-dimensional (1D) spin-$1/2$ system onto a fermionic model without spin degree of freedom. A double chain of quantum bits with $XX$ and $ZZ$ couplings of neighboring qubits along and between the chains, respectively, can be mapped on a spin-full 1D Fermi-Hubbard model. The qubit system can thus be used to emulate the quantum properties of this model. We analyze physical implementations of such analog quantum simulators, including one based on transmon qubits, where the $ZZ$ interaction arises due to an inductive coupling and the $XX$ interaction due to a capacitive interaction. We propose protocols to gain confidence in the results of the simulation through measurements of local operators.

Generalized Jordan-Wigner Transformations

Cristian D. Batista, Gerardo Ortíz

We introduce a new spin-fermion mapping, for arbitrary spin S generating the SU(2) group algebra, that constitutes a natural generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for S = 1/2. The mapping, valid for regular lattices in any spatial dimension d, serves to unravel hidden symmetries. We illustrate the power of the transformation by finding exact solutions to lattice models previously unsolved by standard techniques. We also show the existence of the Haldane gap in S = 1 bilinear nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spin chains and discuss the relevance of the mapping to models of strongly correlated electrons. Moreover, we present a general spin-anyon mapping for the case d < or = 2.

Spin-fermion mappings for even Hamiltonian operators

Alberto Anfossi, Arianna Montorsi

We revisit the Jordan–Wigner transformation, showing that—rather than a non-local isomorphism between different fermionic and spin Hamiltonian operators—it can be viewed in terms of local identities relating different realizations of projection operators. The construction works for arbitrary dimension of the ambient lattice, as well as of the on-site vector space, generalizing Jordan–Wigner's result. It provides a direct mapping of local quantum spin problems into local fermionic problems (and vice versa), under the (rather physical) requirement that the latter are described by Hamiltonians which are even products of fermionic operators. As an application, we specialize to mappings between constrained-fermion models and spin-1 models on chains, obtaining in particular some new integrable spin Hamiltonian, and the corresponding ground-state energies.
