I'm having trouble figuring out how to derive a Hamiltonian for a three state system. I know how to for two state system but for a three state I don't know what vectors I could use to derive the operator. Could someone explain how to do it and give a link to somewhere I read about it
OK I only chose color charges because it was a three state system and i couldn't find another one. Thank for the feed back also can you give me any other three state system I could describe
Ok that makes since however to better explain what I'm trying to do. I'm try to see if principles like quantum interfence, quantum decoherence, quantum entanglement, and quantum coherence plue other principles can explain the three state system of color charges. What it boils down to is can you...
What I mean is that the color charge of quarks are changing all the time and the quarks color charge states can be thought as to be in superposition with each other. I'm trying to explain this though the principles behind the Schrödinger thought experiment which includes quantum interfence...
I'm doing a science fair project involving trying to explain color charge with the principles behind the Schrödinger cat thought experiment; However I'm having trouble finding the right principle. Its math project was well. Can anyone push me into the right direction
ok thank you this helps. However I want to ask one more thing I'm trying to explain color charge states of quarks with this math do you have any suggestions in a way to do it. or at least push me in the right direction.
OK sorry about that what i mean is that i couldn't find much on the math portion of decoherence only bits that made no sense. what I'm asking is that can someone please explain to me the math behind decoherence (all of it)
Thank You this has really helped me understand a few things, but is there anyway you could explain it in math terms. I'm trying to do a science fair project and I need to explain the math portion. If you can't can you direct me to a starting point.
I know that matter can only exist in one state at a time; however at the quantum level knowing what state it is in at a set time is impossible to know for sure until you look at the system. Like with how Schrodinger cat is in a state of randomness between the two states of dead and alive until...
Okay than what does represent that space where a particle is in randomness between two states, because the wave functions only describes the space at which one particle could exist
Hydrogen orbital wave functions.
also doesn't the overlap of wave functions represent the space at which the particle is in a state of randomness shifting between the two states until we look at the system and the the overlap collapse into one of the wave functions again
Is there a way to mathematically describe the space where wave functions overlap like with how wave functions describe the space a particle could exist. Then if that is possible can you determine the time period at which that overlap will occur.
