4. (30 points) Harmonic oscillator with perturbation Recall the Hamiltonian of an harmonic oscillator in 1D: p21 ÃO = + mwf?, where m is the mass of the particle and w is the angular frequency. Now, let us perturb the oscillator with a quadratic potential. The perturbation is given by Î' = zgmw?h?, where g is a dimensionless constant and g <1. (a) Write down the eigen-energies of the unperturbed Hamiltonian. (b) In Lecture 3, we introduced the lowering (or...
1. Consider a charged particle bound in the harmonic oscillator potential V(x) = mw x2. A weak electric field is applied to the system such that the potential energy, U(X), now has an extra term: V(x) = -qEx. We write the full Hamiltonian as H = Ho +V(x) where Ho = Px +mw x2 V(x) = –qEx. (a) Write down the unperturbed energies, EO. (b) Find the first-order correction to E . (c) Calculate the second-order correction to E ....
