Proposed is a generalization of Jordan-Wigner transform that allows to exactly fermionize a large family of quantum spin Hamiltonians in dimensions higher than one. The key new steps are to enlarge the Hilbert space of the original model by…
We investigate the entanglement properties of a finite size 1+1 dimensional Ising spin chain, and show how these properties scale and can be utilized to reconstruct the ground state wave function. Even at the critical point, few terms in a…
We prove the existence of gapped quantum Hamiltonians whose ground states exhibit an infinite entanglement length, as opposed to their finite correlation length. Using the concept of entanglement swapping, the localizable entanglement is…
The approximation of nearest neighbor interaction (NNI) is widely used in short-time spin dynamics with dipole-dipole interactions (DDI) when the intensity of spin-spin interaction is $\sim 1/r^3$, where $r$ is a distance between those…
The second neighbor correlation functions of the spin-${{1/2}}$ $XXZ$ chain in the ground state are expressed in the form of three dimensional integrals. We show that these integrals can be reduced to one-dimensional ones and thereby…

Frustration-free (FF) spin chains have a property that their ground state minimizes all individual terms in the chain Hamiltonian. We ask how entangled the ground state of a FF quantum spin-s chain with nearest-neighbor interactions can be…
