1. Spin in an electromagnetic field (4 points)

We consider a spin-12 with a Zeeman splitting~ω, resonantly coupled to an electromagnetic mode of the same frequencyω. The Hamiltonian of this system is given by

Hˆ =−~ω

+g(ˆaˆσ+ ˆaσˆ+). (1) .

The first term represents the Zeeman splitting, with the ground state|↑iand ground state energy −~2ω and an excited state |↓i with energy ~2ω. The second term describes the mo- nochromatic electromagnetic field with creation and annihilation operators ˆa and ˆa, and eigenstates|ni, where ˆaˆa|ni=n|ni. The last term of (1) is the coupling of the spin to the electromagnetic mode. The matrices ˆσ± are given by ˆσ±= 12(ˆσx±iˆσy) and satisfy

σ+|↓i=|↑i, σ|↑i=|↓i, σ+|↑i= 0, σ|↓i= 0. (2) The Hilbert space of the system is spanned by the states|↑i {|ni}and|↓i {|ni}with{|ni}= {|0i,|1i,|2i, ...}.

(a) [2 points]

Write the Hamiltonian (1) in the basis

{|↑i |0i, |↑i |1i,|↓i |0i,|↑i |2i,|↓i |1i, ... , |↑i |n+ 1i,|↓i |ni, ...}

and show, that it can be written as

2. Hydrogen atom in a classical radiation field (3 points) Consider a hydrogen atom in a time dependent electric field. The interaction with the electric field is, in the dipole approximation, given by

H0(t) =eE·Rˆ cos(ωt).

In the following we want to examine the transitions from the ground state|nlmi=|100iof the hydrogen atom, to the the exited states|2lmi.

To compute the transition rates Γ|100i→|2lmiwe use (without derivation) Fermi’s golden rule:

Γ|100i→|2lmi= 2π

~ | h2lm|eE·R|100i |ˆ 2δ(E2lm−E100−~ω). (4) Here Enlm are the eigenenergies of the hydrogen atom, whose eigenfunctions are given by hrθϕ|nlmi=Rnl(r)Ylm(θ, ϕ).

As a first step, parametrize the interaction term E·r=

Exrsin(θ) cos(ϕ) +Eyrsin(θ) sin(ϕ) +Ezrcos(θ)

(5) using spherical harmonics. Now calculate all non-vanishing matrix elementsh2lm|eE·R|100iˆ and, with these compute, Γ|100i→|2lmi.

3. Stern-Gerlach experiment with precession (3 points) Now we study a Stern-Gerlach experiment with two Stern-Gerlach apparatuses in sequence.

In the first, the magnetic field points inz-direction, and the spin is prepared either in the state|↑i or |↓i. In the second apparatus the magnetic field points in x-direction. Between these two apparatuses a homogenous magnetic field is applied iny-direction, giving rise to a precession of the spin during the time of flightT from the first to the second apparatus.

Calculate the intensity of the points which will be detected on a screen behind the setup.
