Second-Order Field Strength Energy Spectrum of Spherical Shell

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the second-order field strength energy spectrum of a quantum system referred to as a "spherical shell." Participants express confusion regarding the terminology, specifically differentiating between a "spherical shell" and a "spherical well." The need for clarification on the Hamiltonian governing this system is emphasized, indicating that understanding the Hamiltonian is crucial for determining the field strength accurately.

what the energy spectrum to second order in the field strength for a spherical shell?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Forgive my inorance, but I am not familiar with a quantum system that is referred to as 'a spherical shell', my best guess would be 'spherical well' but that would still not unambiguously determine the field strength. Perhaps it's just me, but maybe you could provide a clarification, what is the Hamiltonian for this system?
