Scale perturbation in valence bond ground states
Abstract
A simple and efficient method for calculating the ground state for a class of antiferromagnet systems is presented. It combines the valence bond structure of the ground state for this class of systems and real space renormalization group. As an example, the entire Haldane phase for a spin-1 chain is described, from the AKLT model through to the Heisenberg model, ending at the critical WZNW SU2(2) model. The picture that emerges from this new method leads us to consider the relationship between the hidden topological order that characterizes the Haldane phase and potential applications in quantum communication technology.
