I'm trying to solve a dynamical quantum mechanics problem related to the Cs atom, but I'm having trouble in the following, and I'm afraid I'm doing it wrong.
Say I have the matrix form of the Hamiltonian on a basis for a system [itex]| \psi \rangle[/itex] to be [itex]H_\psi[/itex], and another system with bases [itex]| \phi \rangle[/itex] with Hamiltonian [itex]H_\phi[/itex].
Now I would like to introduce interactions between the first and seconed systems, which will become (I suppose) [itex]| \psi \phi\rangle[/itex].
1) How do I combine those hamiltonians in matrix formalism before adding the new hamiltonian that introduces the interactions?
2) Say the first and second system are complete angular momenta basis in Zeeman eigen-states (so [itex]|F_1 m_{F_1} \rangle[/itex] and [itex]|F_2 m_{F_2}\rangle[/itex]). If the Wigner-D rotation matrix for the first Hamiltonian/basis is [itex]\mathcal{D}^{F_1}_{m_{F_1} m_{F_1}^\prime}[/itex], and for the second system is [itex]\mathcal{D}^{F_2}_{m_{F_2} m_{F_2}^\prime}[/itex]. How can I rotate each system and then combine them to introduce interactions between them?
Thank you for any efforts.
