The Jordan-Wigner transformation is known as a powerful tool in condensed matter theory, especially in the theory of low-dimensional quantum spin systems. The aim of this chapter is to review the application of the Jordan-Wigner fermionization technique for calculating dynamic quantities of low-dimensional quantum spin models. After a brief introduction of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for one-dimensional spin one-half systems and some of its extensions for higher dimensions and higher spin values we focus on the dynamic properties of several low-dimensional quantum spin models. We start from the famous s=1/2 XX chain. As a first step we recall well-known results for dynamics of the z-spin-component fluctuation operator and then turn to the dynamics of the dimer and trimer fluctuation operators. The dynamics of the trimer fluctuations involves both the two-fermion (one particle and one hole) and the four-fermion (two particles and two holes) excitations. We discuss some properties of the two-fermion and four-fermion excitation continua. The four-fermion dynamic quantities are of intermediate complexity between simple two-fermion (like the zz dynamic structure factor) and enormously complex multi-fermion (like the xx or xy dynamic structure factors) dynamic quantities. Further we discuss the effects of dimerization, anisotropy of XY interaction, and additional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on various dynamic quantities. Finally we consider the dynamic transverse spin structure factor $S_{zz}({\bf{k}},\omega)$ for the s=1/2 XX model on a spatially anisotropic square lattice which allows one to trace a one-to-two-dimensional crossover in dynamic quantities.
