The discussion centers on the formulation of a wave function for a combined spin-1 and spin-0 field, specifically addressing the concept of direct product states versus linear superpositions. Participants clarify that a linear superposition of these spins does not exist, emphasizing the need for a direct product state representation. The proposed wave function is expressed as ##\Psi^{\mu}(x,y)=\phi(x) \psi^{\mu}(y)##, indicating a multi-particle wave function approach to combine these fields.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, quantum field theorists, and students studying particle physics who are interested in the interactions and representations of combined spin states.
Basically, if they were one object. I suppose like a multi particle wave function. What would the Direct product state be like?dextercioby said:What do you mean "combined spin 1 and spin 0"? A direct product state, or a linear superposition? The latter doesn't exist.
