Using an analogy between the conductivity tensor of electronic systems and the spin stiffness tensor of spin systems, we introduce the concept of the Thouless number g0 and the dimensionless frequency-dependent conductance g(ω) for quantum spin models. It is shown that spin diffusion implies the vanishing of the Drude peak of g(ω), and that the spin diffusion coefficient Ds is proportional to g0. We develop a new method based the Thouless number to calculate D s , and present results for D s in the nearest-neighbor quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet at infinite temperatures for arbitrary dimension d and spin S.
