Jordan–Wigner transformation ($S_n^{+}={\prod }_{m<n}(1-2c_m^{†}{c}_m)c_n$)

The Jordan–Wigner transformation represents a one-dimensional spin one-half chain by fermions with a parity string preceding each site. With $P_n={\prod }_{m<n}(1-2n_m)$, one has $S_n^{+}=P_n{c}_n$ and $S_n^z=1/2-n_n$. The string converts the off-site canonical anticommutation relations into commuting spin operators. Adjacent exchange terms become quadratic fermion expressions, while a periodic end bond depends on global fermion parity.
