Problem Set 3Chemistry 1.) Given:
⎟⎟
Find A ~^ B ~ and B ~ A^ ~. Do the two matrices commute? 2.) Evaluate the following determinant:
3.) Given the matrix:
⎟⎟
i
i A a) Is A^ ~^ Hermitian? b) Find the eigenvalues of A^ ~ 4.)represented by the matrix: Consider a three-dimensional problem. In a given orthonormal basis the Hamiltonian is
c
c
c H H H 0 0
c is a constant << 1. a) Find the exact eigenvalues of H^ ~ b) Determine the eigenvalues by non-degenerate perturbation to second order. c) Compare the results of part a) and b) Note: you will find the binomial expansion useful for part c): (1+x)n^ ~ 1+nx; x < 1.
