Two sublattices give two bosonic modes for each of N/2 wavevectors in a magnetic Brillouin zone. For a symmetric quadratic pairing block with number coefficient A and anomalous coefficient B, a bosonic Bogoliubov transformation gives two equal positive energies Ek​=A2−Bk2​​ and the displayed vacuum shift. There are N modes overall. The quantum depletion of Néel order per site is (2/N)∑MBZ​vk2​, where vk2​=(A/Ek​−1)/2. Equivalently one can use one branch over a full zone with the corresponding factors of one half. Mixing these conventions doubles the vacuum energy or depletion.
