//! Mapping from bosonic operators to spin operators.
//!
//! This mapping was developped by Juha Leppäkangas at HQS Quantum Simulations. The paper detailing
//! the mapping, as well as its use in the context of open system dynamics, can be found at:
//!                         <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.12138>
//!
//! The mapping is given by:
//!
//! $ \hat{b}_i^{dagger} \hat{b}_i \rightarrow \sum_{j=1}^{N} \hat{\sigma}_+^{i,j} \hat{\sigma}_-^{i,j} $
//! $ \hat{b}_i^{dagger} + \hat{b}_i \rightarrow \frac{1}{\root{N}} \sum_{j=1}^{N} \hat{\sigma}_x^{i,j} $
//!
//! For a direct mapping, N is set to 1. For a Dicke mapping, N > 1.
