Abstract
The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is well known. It is known to be accompanied with the appearance of the `Goldstone boson'. In this paper we construct the canonical coordinates of the Goldstone boson, for quantum spin systems with short range as well as long range interactions.
