Homework Statement



Write out matrix representation of P.

Also, do P|ψ>


Homework Equations



ψ=ψ0 + 2ψ1

ψ0=(1/∏)1/4 exp(- u2/2)

ψ1=(1/∏)1/4 √2 exp(- u2/2)

P= 1/(i*∏) d/du


The Attempt at a Solution



I've no clue what to do. If I had a ψm ψn I would, but what do I do with just ψ0 ψ1?

What would you do in the former case?
 
It's given a gas of particles all identical which has T fixed and spin S. Let's ##g(\epsilon)## the density of orbital states and ##g(\epsilon) = g_0## for ##\forall \epsilon \in [\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1]##, zero otherwise. How to compute the number of accessible quantum states of one particle? This is my attempt, and I suspect that is not good. Let S=0 and then bosons in a system. Simply, if we have the density of orbitals we have to integrate ##g(\epsilon)## and we have...
