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

Weiyi Ren

Published Jan 1, 2005• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

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.

Time-independent perturbation expansion

Efstratios Manousakis

Abstract This chapter discusses time-indendent perturbation theory. It discusses the non-degenerate case first and then the case of application of perturbation theory for the case in which the state is degenerate. It further discusses the case of quasi-degeneracy.

Perturbative Methods in Quantum Mechanics

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract In this chapter we review time-independent and time-dependent perturbation theory in quantum mechanics. We begin with Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory for small corrections to the Hamiltonian for non-degenerate and degenerate spectra, which leads us to a discussion of avoided crossings. We then apply these methods to calculate the fine-structure corrections for the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, including the relativistic correction to the kinetic energy, the spin-orbit correction, and the Darwin term. We then turn to the effect of weak constant magnetic fields: for the resulting Zeeman effect we distinguish between the anomalous Zeeman effect and the Paschen-Back effect. In the context of the corresponding Stark effect for electric fields we introduce the Wigner-Eckart theorem and calculate perturbations to first and second order. We then turn to time-independent problems and discuss the Born-von Neumann series for the propagator, time-ordered integrals, the interaction picture, before explaining Fermi’s golden rule.
