Atoms trapped in microcavities and interacting through the exchange of virtual photons can model an anisotropic Heisenberg spin-1/2 lattice. We do the quantum field theoretical study of such a system using the Abelian bosonization method followed by the renormalization group analysis. We present interesting physics due to the presence of exchange anisotropy. An infinite order Kosterliz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition is replaced by second order XY transition even an infinitesimal a small anisotropy in exchange coupling is introduced. We predict a quantum phase transition between Mott insulating and photonic superfluid phase due to detuning between the cavity and laser frequency, a large detuning favours the photonic superfluid phase. We also do the analysis of Jaynes and Cumming Hamiltonian to support results of quantum field theoretical study.
