    Undergrad Discover Beginner-Friendly Books on Quantum Information and Computation | Q&A

    Yes, I had a look to this book, but it is completely full of typographical error in the formulas. Do you know of any corrected edition or errata document? Thank you for posting this book!

    Undergrad Discover Beginner-Friendly Books on Quantum Information and Computation | Q&A

    Hello to everyone, I would like to ask you to brief questions. The first one is whether you could recommend any pedagogical books on Quantum Information and Computation. I tried Nielsen and Chuang but I found it too dense for a beginner in the field. The second question is the following: to...

    Undergrad Angles between complex vectors

    Hello everybody, nice answers. I was wondering if I can write down the angle between two states in a complex Hilbert space ##\mathcal{H}_N## of any dimension. I know that the distance ##|d|## between the state ##|\psi\rangle## and the state ##|\phi\rangle## would be $$|d\rangle = |\psi\rangle -...

    Undergrad Time-dependence in the Hamiltonian

    Sorry for my delay, I was a little bit busy so far. Thanks for your answers. Let me add another question, just to be sure. Once I have found the instantaneous eigenstates of a ##H(t)## $$H(t) |n(t)\rangle = \epsilon_n (t) |n(t)\rangle \: , $$ can I write the spectral decomposition of the...

    Undergrad Time-dependence in the Hamiltonian

    Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions! So, I could write the state ##|\psi (t) \rangle## in the changing basis ##|n(t)\rangle## or choose a static basis at any given time, for instance at ##t=0##. I wanted to be sure about that, thank you. By the way, how would you face the...

    Undergrad Time-dependence in the Hamiltonian

    Last week I was discussing with some colleagues how to handle time-dependent Hamiltonians. Concerning this, I would like to ask two questions. Here I go. First question As far as I know, for a time-dependent Hamiltonian ##H(t)## I can find the instantaneous eigenstates from the following...

    Other Errata for Greiner's Series on Theoretical Physics

    So far I have no news from Springer. Perhaps , we could share the typos and corrections in a new thread. By the way, does anybody know which are the latest edition or printings of each one of the Greiner's books?

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    Perhaps I am not explaining myself properly, it must be my fault. Do not worry, I am working a solution. If someone else is interested I will post here once I have finished :smile:

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    But, in my case, ##V(t)## is a general time-dependent operator.

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    Well, ##V^\prime(t) = V(t)## is valid if ##V(t)## commutes with ##H_0## at all times, which is not the case, generally.

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    Yes, you are right. I supposed that my time-dependent term ##V(t)## does not depend on ##x##, though. When is this expression ##V^\prime (t) = U_I(t) V^\prime(0) U^\dagger_I(t)## valid?

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    Yes, so this counterexample is enough to reject my assumption, I guess. So, then, when can we write a general time-dependent Hamiltonian as ##H(t) = U(t) H(0) U^\dagger(t)## ?

    Undergrad The time evolution of a Hamiltonian

    Dear everybody, Let me ask a question regarding the unitary time evolution of a given Hamiltonian. Let's start by considering a Hamiltonian of the form ##H(t) = H_0 + V(t)##. Then, I move to the interaction picture where the Schrödinger equation is written as $$ i\hbar \frac{d}{dt}...
