Hi everyone.

Homework Statement


We are given N spins 1/2. A rotation is defined as
\rho_\theta=e^{-i\theta J_n}\rho_\theta e^{i\theta J_n}
on an Hilbert Space H, with
J_n=n_xJ_x+n_yJ_y+n_zJ_z\:,\quad n_x^2+n_y^2+n_z^2=1,
and \theta isn't related to any observable.
Given a quantum state \rho=\sum_ir_i|r_i\rangle\langle r_i|,
the Formula for the Quantum Fisher Information I've come to is
F[\rho,J]=2\sum_{i,j}\frac{(r_i-r_j)^2}{r_i+r_j}|\langle r_i|J|r_j\rangle|^2 (which is indeed right).
Problem is that I have to calculate the Quantum Fisher Information for a Pure state \rho=|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|.
The solution should be F[\rho,J]=4\Delta_\psi^2J,
where \Delta_\psi^2J=\langle\psi|J^2|\psi\rangle-(\langle\psi|J|\psi\rangle)^2 is the variance of J, but I can't come to it

Homework Equations


I have to use the given equation for Fisher Information with the fact that \rho is pure.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have difficulties in how to procede. In pure states all the coefficient r_i should be 0, except for one of the, which should be 1.
Any idea?
Many thanks, this is quite urgent :(
 
Physics news on Phys.org
With ρ = | ri >< ri | I get the result... (split J2 and insert Ʃj | rj >< rj |)
 
Problem is that I don't get how r_i and r_j behave with this particular
\rho
What do you mean by splitting J^2?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
