Undergrad Showing that operators follow SU(2) algebra
For two quantum oscillators, I have raising and lowering operators and , and the number operator . I need to check if operators below follow commutation relations. Now as far as I know, SU(2) algebra commutation relation is [T_1, T_2] = i ε^ijk T_3. So, should I just get T_1 and T_2 in...- graviton_10

Expected value of variance of Hamiltonian in coherent states
So, I used the fact that the commutator of a and a dagger is 1. Does it look good now?- graviton_10

Expected value of variance of Hamiltonian in coherent states
I am trying to find the expected value of the variance of energy in coherent states. But since the lowering and raising operators are non-hermitian and non-commutative, I am not sure if I am doing it right. I'm pretty sure my <H>2 calculation is right, but I'm not sure about <H2> calculation...- graviton_10
