Include the van der Waals interaction term in the XY Hamiltonian #1035

@HGSilveri

Description

@HGSilveri

The XY Hamiltonian still has the Ising van der Waals interaction terms, so we should include them in the Hamiltonian.

The terms are given by

$$ \frac{C_6}{R_{ij}^6} (1-\hat{n}_i) (1-\hat{n}_j),~~~~n = |0\rangle\langle 0|$$

@LucasGitQ can you please confirm if this is correct (particularly the definition of $n$)?
