Unlike that of SO(3) or SU(2), the Lie algebra for SO(2), which defines intermediate spin, comprises only $S_{z}$ and implies $S^{\pm}$ commute. In general, $S_{z}$ has a continuous spectrum. This intermediate spin scheme can realized for…

The class of relativistic spin particle models reveals the `quantization' of parameters already at the classical level. The special parameter values emerge if one requires the maximality of classical global continuous symmetries. The same…

Large quantum simulators, with sufficiently many qubits to be impossible to simulate classically, become hard to experimentally validate. We propose two tests of a quantum simulator with Heisenberg interaction in a linear chain of spins. In…
