1. The problem statement, all variables and given known data
Hi all.
Lets I have a system, whose Hamiltonian is given by [itex]H = p_1 + p_2[/itex], where pi is the momentum of i, where this i can be whatever, e.g. momentum in some particular direction. When the Hamiltonian is given on this form, do I know for certain that the eigenenergies of the system are on the form:
[tex]
E_{m,n} = f(m) + g(n),
[/tex]
where f and g are two functions that depend on respectively m and n? I.e. I am wondering if the eigenenergies of the system follow the same form as the Hamiltonian.
I hope you can help.Niles.
