Exam 2 Problem 2
|
||
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
||
|
||
(pic) Finished the problem using the boundary conditions
|
||
|
||
boundary conditions limit the number of possible spherical harmonics.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Two Similar Particles
|
||
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
|
||
|
||
❙a,b❭ = ❙a❭⊗❙b❭
|
||
|
||
Exchange Operator
|
||
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||
|
||
𝓟₁₂❙a,b❭ = ❙a,b❭
|
||
|
||
𝓟₁₂(❙a❭⊗❙b❭) = ❙b❭⊗❙a❭
|
||
|
||
If particles are indistinguishable
|
||
|
||
𝓟₁₂❙a,b❭ = exp(iδ) ❙a,b❭ = λ ❙a,b❭
|
||
|
||
𝓟²₁₂❙a,b❭ = λ² ❙a,b❭ = ❙a,b❭ ⇒ λ=±1
|
||
|
||
|
||
Symmetry States
|
||
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||
(pic) Two cases: symmetric, antisymmetric
|
||
|
||
Symmetric States, λ=1
|
||
|
||
𝓟₁₂❙a,b❭
|
||
|
||
(pic) Constructed the exchange operator in matrix form, then found eigen states
|
||
|
||
(pic) Showed that the exchange operator leads to the Pauli Exclusion Principle
