Ising-chain ground-state energy 2026-10-07
The vacuum of the diagonal Bogoliubov quasiparticles has the displayed energy. In the thermodynamic bulk, . The Hellmann–Feynman theorem then gives the field magnetization . Sector-dependent finite-chain boundary terms must be restored when exact finite-size levels are needed.

The Hellmann–Feynman theorem gives . Differentiating the Ising-chain ground-state energy yields . HenceThis is also obtained from the occupations of the Bogoliubov quasiparticle vacuum: and . At an exact zero mode the finite-sector limiting ground state specifies the occupation. In the bulk limits, the magnetization per site is zero at , tends to as , and equals at : there the integrand .
