Abstract

Considering bounded-stationary perturbation theory, we arrive at the second order approximation formula in degeneracy with its application.

The Computation of High Order Approximation Formulae in Non-degenerate Stationary Perturbation Theory

Bo Wu

By the method of expanding wave function and energy level one by one,we compute the high order approximation formulae in non-degenerate stationary perturbation theory,where the wave function is computed to the second order and the energy leve to the third order.

The Discussion of the Second Order Perturbation Formula When Degeneracy is not Removed Completely

Weiyi Ren

To study the problem conveniently,the article classifies the not perturbed energy level into degenerate and non-degenerate.Then it avoids the trouble of explaining ｜k and gets the same revised formula of the second order as that of document[1],when approximation of the first order is not removed completely.

Time-independent perturbation theory: degeneracy lifted to the second order

Juan Álvarez Ruiz, Meijian Li

Although the fundamental principles of time-independent perturbation theory are well-established and widely applied, the specific treatment of degeneracy lifted to the second order remains largely unexplored. This work fills the gap by presenting a systematic derivation of time-independent perturbation theory that accounts for the added complexity introduced by non-trivial degeneracies. We provide a general procedure and corresponding formulae for calculating state and energy corrections to any order, with degeneracy lifted to the second order. Additionally, we apply these formulae to solve a prototype problem of the dressed quark system. This work not only advances the theoretical framework but also provides practical tools for tackling complex problems in quantum physics.

Convergent Schrödinger Perturbation Theory

Gerald Speisman

A formulation of Schr\"odinger perturbation theory is developed that gives a unified treatment of non-degenerate and degenerate cases, is unique, and has a nonzero radius of convergence under very general conditions. Two alternative procedures are given for finding perturbed eigenvectors, one of which is simpler for the nondegenerate case or for small finite degeneracy, the other simpler for infinite or large finite degeneracy. The low-order terms in the perturbation expansions of quantities used in applications are given. The perturbation theory formulated in this paper has the following advantages over the conventional Schr\"odinger and Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theories: (i) When the convergence criterion is satisfied, bounds on the error made in replacing an appropriate infinite perturbation series by its first $n$ terms can be obtained. (ii) For the case of degeneracy, the conventional Schr\"odinger perturbation theory can break down under conditions to which the convergence of the perturbation theory developed in this paper are insensitive. (iii) There is no implicit dependence on the eigenvalue, such as appears in the Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory. (iv) For the case of degeneracy, statistical information about the distribution of certain eigenvalues can be obtained without finding the individual eigenvalues. (v) The theory is applicable to a wider class of problems than the conventional Schr\"odinger and Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theories.

The calculation of second-order terms in time-dependent perturbation theory

Paolo Moretti

Considering second-order terms in time-dependent perturbation expansions, the role of the nonresonant part is pointed out and explained using a simple property of the generalized function ζ(x); the results are shown to be independent of the preparation function f(t).
