Non-linear bond operator theory and 1/d expansion for coupled dimer magnets — •Darshan G. Joshi and Matthias Vojta — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Dresden, 01062 Dresden, Germany

For coupled-dimer Heisenberg magnets, a paradigm of magnetic quantum phase transition, we develop a systematic expansion in 1/d, where d is spatial dimension, using bond operators. We apply this technique to a model of dimers on a hyper-cubic lattice, a generalization of the square-lattice bilayer Heisenberg model to arbitrary d. We calculate physical observables at zero temperature in both the quantum paramagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic phases and show that the 1/d expansion consistently describes the entire phase diagram including the quantum critical point. In particular, we determine the dispersion and spectral-weight distribution of the elementary excitations, including the Higgs mode of the anti-ferromagnetic phase.
