Quantum Spin Systems (2308.07848v1)

Published 15 Aug 2023 in math-ph, math.MP, and quant-ph

Abstract: This work provides an overview of gapped quantum spin systems, including concepts, techniques, properties, and results. The basic framework and objects of interest for quantum spin systems are introduced, and the main ideas behind methods for proving spectral gaps for frustration-free models are outlined. After reviewing recent progress on several spectral gap conjectures, we discuss quasi-locality of the Heisenberg dynamics and its utility in proving properties of gapped quantum spin systems. Lieb-Robinson bounds have played a central role in establishing exponential decay of ground state correlations, an area law for one-dimensional systems, a many-body adiabatic theorem, and spectral gap stability. They also aided in the development of the quasi-adiabatic continuation, which is a useful for investigating gapped ground state phases, both of which are also discussed.
