    How do I solve for the unknown matrix Q in this equation?

    If i have a unknown 4*4 matrix A and i have an equation like AQA(dagger)=block diagnol matrix all the matrices are 4*4 how can i evaluate 16 unknowns from these 16 equations using mathematica,as terms involved are much complicated.

    How Does Bose-Einstein Condensation Affect Pressure in an Ideal Bose Gas?

    question number 6.38 of statistical physics by tobochnik(2004) show that the ground state contribution to the pressure is given by p=kT ln(N +1) explain why p can b regarded as zero and why the pressure of an bose gas for Tless than critical temp is independent of volume? no body...

    How to Determine Time Ordering in Phi-3 Theory for a 2-to-3 Particle Process?

    i have been given a problem for writing s matrix in second order perturbative theory for an interaction hamiltonian with phi 4 and phi 3 contributions. it is also given that our initial state is of 2 particles and final state is of three particles. now in solving that i have to take time...
