    I Understanding the dynamics of a perturbed quantum harmonic oscillator

    I'm trying to understand how quantum systems behave when they are perturbed, and I'm using the quantum harmonic oscillator as a model. I start by implementing a symmetric gaussian shaped bump in the middle of the harmonic oscillator, and then i propagate the wave functions in time. the...

    The time-dependence of the expectation values of spin operators

    So first I derived the expressions for the dynamics of the spin operators and got: $$ \frac{d\hat{S}_y}{dt} = w\hat{S}_x^H $$ $$ \frac{d\hat{S}_x}{dt} = w\hat{S}_y^H $$ $$ \frac{d\hat{S}_z}{dt} = 0 $$ Now I want to calculate the time-dependence of the expectation values of the spin operators...

    Time-dependent perturbation theory

    So I have the solution here and trying to understand what happened at the beginning of the second row! How did we get the exponential $$e^{i(\omega_m - \omega_0 ) t' }$$ ?

    I How Do You Compute the Density Matrix of a Bipartite State?

    If we for example have such a bipartite state: $$ | \phi > = \frac{1}{2} [ |0>|0> + |1>|0> + |0>|1> + |1>|1> ] $$ What is the easiest way to compute a density matrix of bipartite states? Should I just compute it as it is? i.e: $$ \rho = | \phi > < \phi | $$ Or should I convert to matrix form...

    Possible energy values given Hamiltonian

    You're right! I just updated my question with the steps!:)

    Possible energy values given Hamiltonian

    So first I rewrote H as a matrix: $$ H = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ b & c \end{pmatrix} $$ And tried to find the eigenvalues/energies of H, so I solved $$ det (H - \lambda I ) = \begin{vmatrix} a-\lambda & b \\ b & c-\lambda \end{vmatrix} = (a-\lambda)(c-\lambda) - b^2 = ac - a\lambda -...

    Sequential Stern Gerlech experiment

    So I thought that when the $m_l = 1$ beam passes through the second SG-magnet, it should split into 3 different beams with equal probability corresponding to $ m_l = -1 , 0 , 1 $ since the field here is aligned along z-axis and hence independent of the x-axis splitting. And I thought that the...

    What is the energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect?

    The intensity of the transitions? But It does not really help me to know which peaks corresponds to the transition I'm looking for

    What is the energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect?

    I suppose that the peaks can be used to get a difference in the wave number for the transition, and from that I can get the energy difference! Am I thinking right here?

    What is the energy difference between the peaks in the Zeeman effect?

    But I don't really know how I am supposed to find the energy difference from the graph, how can I know which peaks to use?

    Second moment of occupation number for bosons

    I tried to show this equality by explicitly determining what $$ \overline{(\Delta \eta)^2} $$ is, but I got a totally different answer for some reason, here is my attempt to solve it, what did I miss?

    I Neutrino-Atom Elastic Scattering: Insights from Particle Physics

    What happens generally when a neutrino/anti-neutrino collides with a light vs heavy atom? My guess is, since neutrinos have very low cross section, their interaction is weak and therefore it will be an elastic scattering! For example: $$ \overline{\nu} + He^3 \rightarrow \overline{\nu} + He^3...

    Determining Form factor from density distribution

    You're totally right! I managed to solve this integral instead and got the right answer! Thank you so much!!:)

    Determining Form factor from density distribution

    So my first thought was that I can just use Fourier trick and integrate: $$ F(q^2) = \int_V \rho(r) \cdot e^{ i \frac{ \vec{q} \cdot \vec{r} }{h} } d^3r $$ $$ F(q^2) = 2\pi \rho_0 \int_0^{\infty} r^2 \cdot e^\frac{-r}{R} dr \cdot \int_0^{\pi} \sin{\theta} \cdot e^{ -i \frac{q \cdot r...
