Annihilation operators of two different types of Fermions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the calculation of the anti-commutation relation for annihilation operators of two different types of Fermions, specifically defined as A = cd, where c and d are the annihilation operators. The anti-commutation relation {A, A°} is derived using the number operators n1 and n2, defined as n1 = c°c and n2 = d°d. The correct expression for the anti-commutation relation is {A, A°} = 1 - n1 - n2, confirming the behavior of Fermionic operators under anti-commutation.

Moved from a technical form
IfA=cd, where c and d are
annihilation operators of two different types of Fermions, then {A,A°}is?
A.1+n1+n2
B.1-n1+n2
C.1-n2+n1
D.1-n1-n2
Where,n1 and n2 are corresponding number operator,
A° means A dagger or creation operator,as the particles are fermions they will obey anti-commutation I think

Welcome to PF. We ask posters to show some work first.
What have you tried?
By the way, what is n1 and h2 in terms of creation/annihilation operators?

n1=c°c
n2=d°d
° means dagger

Ok, good. Now can you show the first few steps in the calculation of ##\{ A, A^\dagger \} ##?
(the very first step is to write what ##A^\dagger## is equal to).
