I have a question if you have an Hamiltonian given by
<br /> H = \sum_{i,i+1} \sigma_i \cdot \sigma_{i+1}<br />
where i can even or odd bonds so in a 1D lattice so if you have 4 sites(1 2 3 4 1) then (12) and (34) are even bonds and (23) and (41) are odd bonds. and I was checking if

<br /> [H_{x even(12)} , H_{x even(34)}] <br />
will they commute also do even and odd bonds commute i.e.
<br /> [H_{x even} , H_{x odd}] <br />

How do you define ##H_{xeven}## and ##H_{xodd}##?
 
Same as I defined above its a Heisenberg spin systems with
<br /> H_{xeven}<br /> [/itex] and <br /> &lt;br /&gt; H_{xodd}&lt;br /&gt; [/itex]&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; are both Heisenberg spin systems with spins defined for even and odd bonds. Here when I say bond I mean the distance between two atomic points in lattice. and alternative bonds are defined as even and odd. Also my ultimate goal is to calculate&lt;br /&gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [ (\sigma_{1}^x \cdot \sigma_{2}^x + \sigma_{1}^y \cdot \sigma_{2}^y + \sigma_{1}^z \cdot \sigma_{2}^z) , (\sigma_{3}^x \cdot \sigma_{4}^x + \sigma_{3}^y \cdot \sigma_{4}^y + \sigma_{3}^z \cdot \sigma_{4}^z)]&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; [/itex] &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; so will it commute.

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
