Wave Function Question: Understanding |0,f\rangle & \hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of the state notation ##|0,f\rangle=|0\rangle|f\rangle## and the action of the operator ##\hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+## on this state. The notation represents a product of two quantum states, where ##|0\rangle## denotes the unperturbed ground state of electrons and ##|f\rangle## represents an additional state, likely related to the system's configuration. The operator ##\hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+## creates an electron with wave vector ##\vec{k}## and spin ##\sigma##, acting specifically on the second component of the state, ##|f\rangle##. The discussion emphasizes the need to define the states and operators clearly for accurate interpretation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics and bra-ket notation
  • Familiarity with electron creation operators, specifically ##\hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+##

NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of the antisymmetrized product of single electron states in quantum mechanics

  • Explore the significance of wave vector and spin quantum numbers in electron states
  • Investigate the effects of perturbations on electron states in quantum systems
USEFUL FOR

Quantum physicists, graduate students in physics, and researchers focusing on many-body quantum systems and electron interactions will benefit from this discussion.

Here in the page 203 is defined ##|\vec{k}_i^{(i)},m_{s_i}^{(i)}\rangle## and also ##|0,f\rangle=|0\rangle|f\rangle##
what that notation means?
What is ##|0,f\rangle=|0\rangle|f\rangle##?
If operator ##\hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+## creates electron with wave vector ##\vec{k}## and spin ##\sigma##.
What is
\hat{c}_{\vec{k},\sigma}^+|0,f\rangle?

This is not clear. Are you asking what a bra-ket notation mean, or are you specifically asking what a state |a>|b> mean?

Zz.
 
Only in this case. How operator ##\hat{c}## attacks ##|0,f\rangle##?
 
For example
\langle 0;f|\hat{C}_{i\sigma}^+|0;f\rangle=?
 
You have to define the state the the operator...these are defined things...
 
I think it is just for two separate things so it can be written as product.Any operator associated with electron will act on second one not on first one
 
Well I can give more information. But I gave in first post book and the page. But ok...
\hat{s}_i^z=\frac{\hbar}{2}(\hat{c}_{i\uparrow}^+ \hat{c}_{i\uparrow}-\hat{c}_{i\downarrow}^+\hat{c}_{i\downarrow})
\hat{s}_i^+=\hbar \hat{c}_{i\uparrow}^+ \hat{c}_{i\downarrow}
\hat{s}_i^-=\hbar \hat{c}_{i\downarrow}^+ \hat{c}_{i\uparrow}

In text.
''Without perturbation electron exist in their unpolarised ground state. In addition since they don't interact with each other, the unperturbed electron ground state can be written as the antisymetrised product of single electron states
|\vec{k}_i^{(i)},m_{s_i}^{(i)}\rangle=|\vec{k}_i^{(i)}\rangle |m_{s_i}^{(i)}\rangle
where the spin magnetic quantum number ##m_{s_i}^{(i)}## takes the values ##\pm \frac{1}{2}##. ##|\vec{k}_i^{(i)}\rangle## is wave vector where superscript refers to the particle number. Furter since we want to treat conduction electrons as s electrons, which excludes spin orbit interraction, we can separate the spin and the space parts. Let
|0;f\rangle=|0\rangle|f\rangle
''
Can you now give me explanation. What is ##|0\rangle##? What is ##|f\rangle##? And how defined operators act on this state? Tnx.
