Abstract
In this article, the correlated basis-function (CBF) method is applied for the first time to the quantum spin-half {\it XY} model on the linear chain, the square lattice, and the simple cubic lattice. In this treatment of the quantum spin-half {\it XY} model a Jastrow ansatz is utilised to approximate the ground-state wave function. Results for the ground-state energy and the sublattice magnetisation are presented, and evidence that the CBF detects the quantum phase transition point in this model is also presented. The CBF results are compared to previous coupled cluster method (CCM) results for the spin-half {\it XY} model, and the two formalisms are then compared and contrasted.
