Hello everyone, I m currently working on a problem that is freaking me out a bit, suppose I have a second quantized hamiltonian:

\begin{eqnarray}
H=H_{0}+ \epsilon d^{\dagger}d + V(d{\dagger}c_{0} + h.c)
\end{eqnarray}
In terms of some new operators, I would like to rotate the hamiltonian, so that one part of it is diagonalised in the new operators, how can I do this¿ And compute the matrix elements

A bit more context in your question would help. (I actually started a reply when you first posted, but abandoned it because I was too short of time to guess your context.)

I'm guessing your d's are creation/annihilation operators satisfying canonical commutation relations(?). What is ##c_0##? Is there an explicit expression for ##H_0##?
 
Okei thanks for the reply! H0 represents a bath of conduction electrons, $d^{\dagger}$ and $d$ are fermionic operators on a impurity level, and c0 the fermionic operators at the edge of the conduction band. Its a non-interacting Anderson model. However, I could do it at the end so no help is needed, than you anyway!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
