Heisenberg model (quantum) Heisenberg model (quantum) The Heisenberg model is a statistical mechanical model used in the study of critical points and phase transitions of magnetic systems, in which the spins of the magnetic systems are treated quantum mechanically. In the prototypical Ising model, defined on a "d"-dimensional lattice, at each lattice site, a spin formula_1 represents a microscopic magnetic dipole to which the magnetic moment is either up or down. Except the coupling between magnetic dipole moments, there is also a multipolar version of Heisenberg model called the multipolar exchange interaction. For quantum mechanical reasons (see exchange interaction or the subchapter "quantum-mechanical
Heisenberg group unitary operator of formula_103 that commutes with them is an formula_121 multiplier. But commuting with translations implies that the multiplier is constant. A version of the Stone–von Neumann theorem, proved by George Mackey, holds for the Heisenberg group formula_113. The Fourier transform is the unique intertwiner between the representations of formula_103 and formula_124. See the discussion at Stone–von Neumann theorem#Relation to the Fourier transform for details. Heisenberg group In mathematics, the Heisenberg group formula_1, named after Werner Heisenberg, is the group of 3×3 upper triangular matrices of the form under the operation of matrix multiplication.
