2. (20 pts) Degenerate Perturbation Theory. A system with Hamiltonian H has two degenerate eigenstates l ψ )and lp : Ea...
3. Consider a system whose Hamiltonian H, admits two eigenstates y, (with eigenvalues F) and v, (with eigenvalues E,). Assume E, E, and they are () orthogonal, (ifi) normalized and (ii) non-degenerate. After the perturbation is on the diagonal matrix elements become zero ie, <4, l H'l Ψ)-(4, I H'ly,)-0, while the off diagonal equals to a constant value ie. (v, l H'l%)-(wil H'ly)-c Using the 2nd order perturbation theory evaluate the energy of the perturbed system.
Consider a quantum mechanical system with 4 states and an unperturbed Hamiltonian given by 1 0 0 0 Ho E0 0 2 0 a small perturbation is added to this Hamiltonian 0 0 1 0 where e is much smaller than E a) [10pts] What are the energy eigenvalues of the unperturbed system of the following states? 1 o 2o 0 and which energy levels are degenerate? b) [10pts Find a good basis for degenerate perturbation theory instead of c)...
