Model-to-Volume Cross-Link Index
A recurring model can legitimately appear in several places, but each appearance must do a different job. A model dossier fixes the reproducible mathematical object. A teaching article derives its physics. A reference card locates it quickly. A benchmark tests an implementation. An application volume owns a material, atomic, device, or field-theory realization.
This index assigns those roles so that “another Hubbard page” or “another Ising page” does not silently become a second canonical home.
Canonical Scope
Section titled “Canonical Scope”This page is the canonical home for cross-volume routing decisions for many-body models. It records:
- the live dossier for every model in the Model Encyclopedia;
- the topical page that owns derivations and physical interpretation;
- compact Reference cards and Hamiltonian entries where they exist;
- stable numerical benchmark contracts;
- application-volume ownership and the current live gateway;
- controlled limits that connect one dossier to another;
- criteria for deciding whether a proposed page is a model, method, application, benchmark, or duplicate.
The Model Encyclopedia remains the canonical comparison of model families, conventions, solvability claims, and observables. Common Many-Body Hamiltonians and Common Spin Hamiltonians remain the compact formula references. This index routes among those layers; it does not rederive their content.
When a reader starts from a material observable rather than a named model, Choosing a Model for Quantum Matter owns the inverse selection audit. This index begins after a model family is named and routes its dossier, teaching, reference, benchmark, and application owners.
For a named spin model applied to a material, Magnetism and Spin Systems is the application gateway: it separates moment, exchange, ordered-phase, excitation, itinerant, response, and texture questions without replacing the dossier or teaching owner.
Routing Layers
Section titled “Routing Layers”| Layer | Owns | Does not own |
|---|---|---|
| model dossier | Hilbert space, Hamiltonian convention, geometry, symmetries, limits, solution status, observables | every derivation or application |
| teaching article | derivation, mechanism, phase structure, approximations, physical interpretation | short cross-site lookup |
| formula sheet or Hamiltonian entry | one compact convention-aware expression | a complete model specification |
| Reference model card | concise locator and aliases | a second teaching article |
| benchmark contract | finite input, expected output, tolerances, validation | the general model family |
| application volume | material, atomic, optical, information-processing, or device realization | abstract model formalism already owned here |
| QFT or frontier bridge | continuum limit, renormalization, large- structure, open research status | elementary many-body definitions |
Status language
Section titled “Status language”- Live means the route exists and is linked below.
- Planned means an explanation is unfinished. Authored scaffolds are available, but a roadmap or substantive gateway may provide a more useful starting point.
- No separate card means the dossier is the current compact locator. It is not a request to create a duplicate automatically.
- Generic card means one Reference card covers several geometries, such as both a Hubbard dimer and chain.

| Tight-Binding Chain | Tight-Binding Model owns Fourier diagonalization, bands, flux, and localization boundaries | Tight-Binding Chain card; Common Many-Body Hamiltonians | Bloch bands, Wannier functions, materials, and topological band models begin with Choosing a Model for Quantum Matter |
Interacting lattice models
Section titled “Interacting lattice models”| Model dossier | Teaching or derivation home | Compact lookup and validation | Application destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hubbard Dimer | Exact Hubbard Dimer Spectrum owns the teaching derivation | generic Hubbard card; Hubbard Hamiltonian; MB-B003 | The dimer is primarily a benchmark and few-site laboratory; do not create a material-specific duplicate |
| Hubbard Chain | Hubbard Model owns generic formalism, strong coupling, observables, and methods | generic Hubbard card; Hubbard Hamiltonian; MB-B004 | Mott physics and correlated materials belong to Quantum Matter; optical-lattice realization belongs to Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics |

Pairing, impurities, and frontier models
Section titled “Pairing, impurities, and frontier models”| Model dossier | Teaching or derivation home | Compact lookup and validation | Application destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reduced BCS Model | the dossier owns Richardson’s exact finite-level solution; BCS Mean-Field Theory owns the bulk symmetry-breaking saddle | BCS Model card; Common Many-Body Hamiltonians; MB-B008 tests the separate mean-field equation | Superconducting phenomenology, materials, Meissner response, and devices belong to Quantum Matter |

Reference Coverage
Section titled “Reference Coverage”The global Reference is intentionally sparser than the Model Encyclopedia.
| Coverage type | Live entries | Routing rule |
|---|---|---|
| generic many-body cards | Bose gas, Fermi gas, Hubbard, Bose–Hubbard, BCS | one card can point to several geometries and dossiers |
| spin-model cards | Ising chain, Heisenberg chain | use cards for global lookup; use dossiers for convention and benchmark detail |
| condensed-matter card | tight-binding chain | Choosing a Model for Quantum Matter owns the live material-to-model selection audit; the narrow application owner develops the material physics |
| Hamiltonian entries | Hubbard, Ising chain, Heisenberg chain | formula entry is not a model dossier |
| dossier-only models | harmonic chain, spin- umbrella, XXZ, Kondo, Anderson, Lieb–Liniger, Tonks–Girardeau, SYK | create a card only when cross-site discovery needs it; never copy the dossier body |
A missing card is not a missing model page. The live dossier remains the stable destination until a genuinely shorter cross-site locator is useful.
Cross-Volume Ownership
Section titled “Cross-Volume Ownership”Application volumes mature at different rates. Use the live gateway in the last column rather than a placeholder article URL.
| Destination | Owns | Does not duplicate | Current live route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantum Matter | bands in solids, phonons in materials, magnetism, Mott phenomenology, superconductivity, Kondo effect, heavy fermions | abstract Hubbard, spin-chain, pairing, or impurity model definitions | Choosing a Model for Quantum Matter |
| Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics | trap construction, Feshbach tuning, optical lattices, loading, imaging, cold-atom realizations | ideal-gas derivations or generic Hubbard-family formalism | AMO Physics Roadmap |
| Quantum Information and Computation | simulator encodings, circuits, control protocols, information-processing use | generic Ising or Heisenberg derivations | Quantum Information Roadmap |
| Computational Quantum Mechanics | reusable algorithms, data formats, production workflows, cross-volume benchmark suites | physical interpretation already owned by the model volume | Computational Quantum Mechanics Roadmap |
| Research Frontiers | unresolved model regimes, quantum simulation frontiers, strange metals, SYK-like chaos | standard results already mature in a dossier | Researcher Refresher and model-specific live previews |
| QFT bridge | continuum fields, renormalization, effective actions, large- methods, holographic interpretation | elementary Hilbert-space and Hamiltonian definitions | Bridge to QFT Roadmap |
Formalism versus phenomenology
Section titled “Formalism versus phenomenology”The abstract Hubbard Hamiltonian and its controlled limits belong in Many-Body and Quantum Statistical Mechanics. A page about a cuprate, transition-metal oxide, or material-specific Mott regime belongs in Quantum Matter and should link back to the generic formalism.
Likewise, the reduced BCS Hamiltonian and many-body mean-field method are formal objects. Meissner response, critical fields, vortices, Josephson devices, and material phenomenology belong in Quantum Matter.
Model versus realization
Section titled “Model versus realization”The Bose–Hubbard model is defined independently of how it is engineered. Wannier reduction, lattice-depth calibration, confinement, Feshbach control, imaging, and loss mechanisms belong to Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. The model page can derive the effective parameters at overview depth, but it does not own the full experimental apparatus.
Model versus method
Section titled “Model versus method”Exact diagonalization, DMRG, quantum Monte Carlo, numerical renormalization group, and dynamical mean-field theory are methods. A model dossier states which methods are controlled or customary; the method page owns algorithmic derivation and convergence. Benchmark contracts connect the two without merging them.
Controlled-Limit Handoffs
Section titled “Controlled-Limit Handoffs”A relation between models is a cross-link only after the approximation, projected Hilbert space, and observable range are stated.
Tight binding to Hubbard families
Section titled “Tight binding to Hubbard families”The spinful Hubbard model reduces to a quadratic tight-binding problem at
The Bose–Hubbard model likewise becomes quadratic at zero onsite interaction, subject to bosonic stability and chemical-potential conditions. This limit links to Tight-Binding Model; it does not make the interacting dossier redundant.
Hubbard to Heisenberg
Section titled “Hubbard to Heisenberg”For repulsive Hubbard physics near one particle per site and
the low-energy no-double-occupancy sector has antiferromagnetic exchange
Effective Hamiltonians in Many-Body Systems owns the projection, additive density term, and higher-order correction audit. Hubbard Model and Heisenberg Model remain distinct canonical pages because their Hilbert spaces and regimes differ.
Anderson to Kondo
Section titled “Anderson to Kondo”The local-moment regime of the Anderson impurity model admits a Schrieffer–Wolff projection when impurity charge excitations are well separated from the low-energy sector. The resulting exchange model omits the projected charge dynamics. The canonical handoff is:
- Anderson Impurity Model dossier;
- Anderson Impurity Model Preview;
- Anderson-to-Kondo effective Hamiltonian;
- Kondo Model dossier.
The Kondo page should not reproduce impurity charge spectra, and the Anderson page should not claim the projected spin model is exact outside its scale-separated regime.
Lieb–Liniger to Tonks–Girardeau
Section titled “Lieb–Liniger to Tonks–Girardeau”For density and contact coupling , a standard dimensionless interaction is
The impenetrable limit is
The Lieb–Liniger dossier owns finite coupling and Bethe equations. The Tonks–Girardeau dossier owns the limiting Bose–Fermi map and its observable-specific caveats. Spectra and density observables can map simply while off-diagonal bosonic correlations retain nonlocal strings.
Bose–Hubbard to hard-core spin models
Section titled “Bose–Hubbard to hard-core spin models”Projecting the repulsive Bose–Hubbard model to
maps its hopping to an exchange in a field. Large but finite still permits virtual double occupation and generates corrections. Bose–Hubbard Model owns the projection; XXZ Spin Chain owns the broader anisotropic spin family.
Transverse-field Ising to quadratic fermions
Section titled “Transverse-field Ising to quadratic fermions”The standard nearest-neighbor chain without a longitudinal field maps to a quadratic fermion problem after Jordan–Wigner transformation. Periodic spin boundaries become parity-dependent fermion boundaries. Jordan–Wigner Transformation owns that bookkeeping. Adding generic longitudinal fields or interactions destroys the same free-fermion solution.
Harmonic chain to phonon field
Section titled “Harmonic chain to phonon field”The long-wavelength harmonic chain gives an elastic scalar field after the lattice spacing is taken small with mass density and stiffness held fixed. The continuum field loses Brillouin-zone and lattice-cutoff information. The dossier owns the reproducible chain; Phonons as Many-Body Excitations owns the collective-mode interpretation.
Reduced BCS exact solution and mean field
Section titled “Reduced BCS exact solution and mean field”The finite reduced Hamiltonian conserves number and admits Richardson roots. The thermodynamic BCS saddle breaks at mean-field level and uses gap and number equations. In an appropriate continuum limit, the root distribution reproduces the mean-field equations, but an unprojected BCS state is not an exact generic finite-system eigenstate. Keep the exact dossier and mean-field article separate.
When a Variant Deserves a Page
Section titled “When a Variant Deserves a Page”Create a separate dossier only when the variant changes a durable part of the model contract.
Strong reasons to split
Section titled “Strong reasons to split”- The Hilbert space changes, as between soft-core and strictly hard-core bosons.
- Geometry creates a reusable exact problem, as for Hubbard and Bose–Hubbard dimers.
- Boundary or parity structure changes the solution in a persistent way.
- The variant has an independent exact solution, benchmark, or canonical observable set.
- The literature treats the object as a stable model family rather than one parameter point.
Weak reasons to split
Section titled “Weak reasons to split”- A coupling is assigned one numerical value.
- The chain length changes only for a finite-size calculation.
- Open boundaries replace periodic boundaries without a broader conceptual change.
- A new solver is applied to the same physical object.
- One material, atom, or device realizes the generic model.
- A compact Hamiltonian has already been written elsewhere.
Weak reasons usually call for a subsection, benchmark, method page, or application page rather than another model dossier.
Canonical-Home Decision Procedure
Section titled “Canonical-Home Decision Procedure”Before creating a model-related page, answer these questions in order:
- Is the mathematical object already specified by a live dossier? If yes, link it.
- Is the proposed content a derivation or physical mechanism? Put it in the topical teaching chapter.
- Is it a material or experimental realization? Route it to the application volume.
- Is it an algorithm or convergence study? Route it to a computational method or benchmark.
- Is it a one-screen formula or alias? Add or extend a reference card.
- Does a controlled limit change the Hilbert space or effective degrees of freedom? Cross-link both models and put the derivation in an effective-method page.
- Is the destination still an empty scaffold? Label it Planned and also link a substantive explanation or useful roadmap. A scaffold cannot replace a substantive canonical owner.
If none of these questions establishes a distinct responsibility, the proposed page is probably a duplicate.
Alias and Naming Index
Section titled “Alias and Naming Index”| Name or alias | Route and caution |
|---|---|
| transverse-field Ising chain, TFIM | Transverse-Field Ising dossier; state the Pauli-versus-spin normalization |
| XXX chain | Heisenberg Chain at isotropic exchange; field and sign conventions still matter |
| XXZ chain | XXZ Chain; define the anisotropy and exchange sign |
| Fermi–Hubbard model | generic Hubbard Model unless a multicomponent or unusual-statistics variant is intended |
| Bose–Hubbard model, BH model | Bose–Hubbard Model; avoid the bare acronym in mixed contexts |
| single-impurity Anderson model, SIAM | Anderson Impurity Model dossier; distinguish it from Anderson localization |
| – exchange model | commonly the Kondo Model; specify one- versus multichannel and impurity representation |
| reduced BCS, constant-pairing, Richardson model | Reduced BCS Model; do not conflate its exact finite solution with mean-field BCS |
| delta-function Bose gas | Lieb–Liniger Model Preview; state the coupling and boundary convention |
| impenetrable Bose gas | Tonks–Girardeau Gas Preview; the fermion map is observable dependent |
| Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model, SYK | SYK Model Preview; state Majorana or complex fermions, interaction order, variance, and disorder averaging |
Worked Routing Cases
Section titled “Worked Routing Cases”Hubbard model in a cuprate
Section titled “Hubbard model in a cuprate”- The abstract Hamiltonian and controlled limits link to the Hubbard teaching article and Hubbard Chain dossier when one-dimensional structure matters.
- Material parameters, charge-transfer physics, orbitals, spectroscopy, and comparison with a cuprate belong to Quantum Matter.
- A small-cluster solver validation links to MB-B003 or MB-B004.
One page should not own all three responsibilities.
Bose–Hubbard optical-lattice experiment
Section titled “Bose–Hubbard optical-lattice experiment”- The effective Hamiltonian and phase-structure conventions link to Bose–Hubbard Model.
- A two-well exact calculation links to the Bose–Hubbard Dimer.
- Lattice beams, Wannier calibration, loading, microscopy, and losses belong to Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics.
- General critical scaling links to Quantum Phase Transitions rather than being rederived in an experimental page.
BCS superconductivity
Section titled “BCS superconductivity”After naming the pairing model, enter Superfluidity and Superconductivity to route the material phase or response claim; this index retains model-layer ownership.
- Exact finite-level pairing uses the Reduced BCS Model.
- The bulk anomalous saddle and gap equation use BCS Mean-Field Theory.
- London Theory owns local Meissner electrodynamics; critical fields, tunneling phenomenology, vortices, and Josephson devices also belong to Quantum Matter.
- A one-screen locator uses the BCS Model card.
Calling all four pages “the BCS model” hides their distinct state spaces and observables.
Anderson impurity and Kondo screening
Section titled “Anderson impurity and Kondo screening”- Begin with the charge-fluctuating Anderson dossier.
- Use the effective-Hamiltonian derivation only in the local-moment regime.
- Continue to the Kondo dossier for the projected exchange model.
- Put resistivity minima, heavy-fermion materials, and Kondo lattices in Quantum Matter; put full field-theoretic RG in the QFT destination.
SYK and black-hole language
Section titled “SYK and black-hole language”- The random Hamiltonian, normalization, disorder average, large- saddle, and finite- benchmark stay in the SYK dossier.
- Operator growth and chaos diagnostics use Scrambling and OTOCs Preview.
- Schwarzian theory, holographic interpretation, and gravity claims belong to QFT or Research Frontiers and must retain their approximation and evidence status.
Maintenance Contract
Section titled “Maintenance Contract”Every new or substantially revised dossier should expose four outgoing links when the destinations exist:
- its topical teaching home;
- its compact card or formula sheet;
- its numerical benchmark or method page;
- its application or QFT destination.
The reciprocal pages should link back only when the dossier improves navigation. A dense teaching article does not need links to every model variant, but it should link to the canonical dossiers it explicitly uses.
Link stability
Section titled “Link stability”- Link to semantic routes, not sidebar order numbers.
- Prefer a live section anchor only when the section is the canonical handoff.
- Do not publish links to planned but nonexistent pages.
- When a future destination goes live, replace the roadmap fallback and leave the model dossier unchanged unless its ownership boundary also changes.
- A redirect can preserve old inbound URLs, but it does not justify maintaining two canonical bodies.
Metadata consistency
Section titled “Metadata consistency”The canonical_home field should identify the page that owns the current article’s content, not the broadest related topic. A compact lookup page can point to a deeper canonical article; a unique routing index can own itself. related metadata should mirror important reader paths but cannot replace visible contextual links.
Common Mistakes
Section titled “Common Mistakes”Treating the shortest page as canonical
Section titled “Treating the shortest page as canonical”A Reference card is intentionally brief. Canonical ownership follows responsibility, not word count.
Treating a Hamiltonian formula as a complete model
Section titled “Treating a Hamiltonian formula as a complete model”Statistics, Hilbert space, geometry, boundary conditions, ensemble, and observables are part of the model contract.
Creating one page per solver
Section titled “Creating one page per solver”ED, DMRG, Monte Carlo, NRG, and mean field are methods applied to a model. Put solver-specific derivations and convergence in method pages and link one model dossier.
Turning every finite size into a model
Section titled “Turning every finite size into a model”A dimer can deserve a dossier because it is a reusable exact benchmark. A seven-site and nine-site chain normally do not deserve separate canonical pages.
Mixing exact and effective models
Section titled “Mixing exact and effective models”Hubbard-to-Heisenberg, Anderson-to-Kondo, and Lieb–Liniger-to-Tonks relations have domains of validity. An arrow is not an identity of complete Hilbert spaces and observables.
Sending formalism to an application volume
Section titled “Sending formalism to an application volume”Material or cold-atom pages should import the abstract model, not redefine its algebra and conventions independently.
Publishing dead future links
Section titled “Publishing dead future links”Planned ownership remains distinct from current canonical ownership until the destination supplies a substantive explanation. Use a substantive gateway or useful roadmap for the current treatment.
Assuming a missing card means missing content
Section titled “Assuming a missing card means missing content”The Model Encyclopedia dossier is already a stable page. A second short card is warranted only by cross-site discovery needs.
Exercises
Section titled “Exercises”Exercise 1: Route a Mott-material article
Section titled “Exercise 1: Route a Mott-material article”A proposed article contains the Hubbard Hamiltonian, a strong-coupling derivation, material-specific orbital parameters for a nickelate, an exact-diagonalization convergence study, and comparison with spectroscopy. Assign each part to its canonical layer.
Solution
- The Hamiltonian convention links to the Hubbard dossier, compact card, or Hamiltonian entry.
- The strong-coupling derivation belongs to Effective Hamiltonians in Many-Body Systems.
- Nickelate orbitals, parameters, and spectroscopy belong to Quantum Matter.
- Solver convergence belongs to a computational method or benchmark page.
- The material article links these pieces and owns the physical synthesis; it should not copy their derivations.
Exercise 2: Decide whether a new dossier is needed
Section titled “Exercise 2: Decide whether a new dossier is needed”An author proposes separate model pages for open Hubbard chains of lengths , , and , all at the same filling and couplings, because each was used in a finite-size study. Should the pages be created?
Solution
No. The system sizes form one finite-size sequence of the same model. Record the geometry and sizes in a benchmark, notebook, or numerical study and link the Hubbard Chain dossier. Separate pages would duplicate the Hamiltonian, symmetries, and observables without establishing new canonical responsibilities.
Exercise 3: Route an optical-lattice claim
Section titled “Exercise 3: Route an optical-lattice claim”An experiment realizes a one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard chain and reports a commensurate transition. Which pages own the effective model, apparatus, transition framework, and finite-size inference?
Solution
- Bose–Hubbard Model owns the effective Hamiltonian and its generic phases.
- The Bose–Hubbard Chain dossier owns one-dimensional conventions and controlled limits.
- Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics owns the optical-lattice construction and measurement protocol.
- Quantum Phase Transitions and Universality own the general critical classification.
- Finite-Size Scaling in Numerics owns the inference protocol.
Exercise 4: Audit an Anderson-to-Kondo shortcut
Section titled “Exercise 4: Audit an Anderson-to-Kondo shortcut”A draft replaces an Anderson impurity model by a Kondo exchange Hamiltonian for every impurity level and hybridization, then uses the Kondo model to predict charge-transfer peaks. Identify the routing error.
Solution
The Schrieffer–Wolff handoff requires a local-moment regime with charge excitations separated from the low-energy sector. The Kondo model has projected those charge fluctuations out and therefore cannot own charge-transfer peaks. The draft must keep the Anderson Impurity Model for charge spectra, state the projection assumptions, and use the Kondo Model only for the resulting low-energy spin exchange.
