The schematic illustration of Z 2 slave-spin representation. The physical state of one site (left column) can be represented by pseudospin and pseudofermion. In the enlarged Hilbert space, half of states are physical (middle column) and the other half are unphysical (right column). It is twice as large as the original one.
