Find the eigenvector with zero eigenvalues at any time t from the Hamiltonian

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding an eigenvector with zero eigenvalues for a Hamiltonian defined as H = Acos²(bt)(|1><2| + |2><1|) + Asin²(bt)(|2><3| + |3><2|) in a three-level quantum system. Participants emphasize the necessity of understanding eigenvectors and eigenvalues to tackle the problem effectively. The Hamiltonian's structure suggests that the eigenvector corresponding to zero eigenvalues can be derived through specific mathematical techniques related to quantum mechanics.

You have to make your best attempt. You must know something about eigenvectors and eigenvalues.

We can't help you if you simply know nothing about the material at all.
