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

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding an eigenvector with zero eigenvalues for a Hamiltonian in a three-level quantum system. The Hamiltonian is expressed as H = Acos²(bt)(|1><2| + |2><1|) + Asin²(bt)(|2><3| + |3><2|). Participants emphasize the need for a foundational understanding of eigenvectors and eigenvalues to tackle the problem effectively. The initial poster expresses uncertainty about how to approach the task, indicating a gap in knowledge regarding the material. A clear understanding of quantum mechanics principles is essential for solving this eigenvalue problem.

Homework Statement
A Hamiltonian of 3 level system is given by:
Relevant Equations
H= Acos^2 bt(|1><2|+|2><1|)+Asin^2 bt(|2><3|+|3><2|)

I have been asked to find that H has an eigenvector with zero eigenvalues at any time t, but I don't know where to start
I have a question relates to a 3 levels system. I have the Hamiltonian given by:

H= Acos^2 bt(|1><2|+|2><1|)+Asin^2 bt(|2><3|+|3><2|)

I have been asked to find that H has an eigenvector with zero eigenvalues at any time t

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.
