SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving the equation =. Participants reference the use of a C-G table to validate the equation experimentally, indicating its correctness in practical applications. A classmate's confirmation from a teaching assistant further supports the validity of the equation. The conversation highlights the need for a formal proof rather than relying solely on experimental evidence.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics notation
  • Knowledge of mathematical proof techniques
  • Experience with tensor product spaces
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
  • Learn about the properties of angular momentum in quantum mechanics
  • Explore formal proof methods in mathematical physics
  • Investigate the application of C-G tables in quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, quantum mechanics researchers, and anyone interested in the mathematical foundations of angular momentum in quantum systems.

Hi,

How can I prove that

&lt;J,2;J,0|J,J&gt;=&lt;J,2;-J,0|J,-J&gt;

?

(my "template" is &lt;j_1,j_2;m_1,m_2|JM&gt;)thx

Where did you get it from ? I don't think it's correct...
 
It's correct "experimentally" in the sense that I'Ve looked in a C-G table and it's always true.

And according to a classmate of mine, he went to see the teaching assistant and he told him it was correct.

You mean what you wrote, and not
&lt;J,2;J,0|J,-J&gt;=&lt;J,2;-J,0|J,J&gt;, right?
(at first I thought you had written what I just wrote and I saw a way to prove it easily but I don't see right away how to prove the wone you gave)
 
i mean what i wrote
