“…Assuming that the effective Hamiltonian can be written as a sum of local processes that consist in tunneling between two dimer coverings |φ b and |φ r (see first row of Fig. 2 for a sketch of the most important processes), the QDM parameters can in fact be simply determined from the overlap φ b |φ r ≡ ω and the matrix elements φ b |H|φ b = φ r |H|φ r ≡ E 0 and φ b |H|φ r ≡ v, which can be found from the transition graph following standard rules [11,22,30,32,37,38]. Indeed, the simplicity of the problem allows for a direct evaluation of O − 1 2 NNVB , giving…”
