Blogon 1: Schwinger Bosons


Opening talk by Tyler Dodds on June 9th, 2011.

Tyler presented a pedagogical talk on Schwinger Boson's with regards to Heisenberg models. Representing spin in terms of boson operators, together with a constraint, was shown to naturally lead to a gapped Z2 spin liquid, or to a magnetically ordered state if the bosons condense.
