Second quantized hamiltonian change basis

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the diagonalization of a second quantized Hamiltonian represented as H=H₀+εd†d+V(d†c₀+h.c). The user seeks guidance on transforming this Hamiltonian using new operators to achieve diagonalization of one part. The Hamiltonian pertains to a non-interacting Anderson model, where d† and d are fermionic operators associated with an impurity level, while c₀ represents fermionic operators at the edge of the conduction band. The user ultimately concludes that assistance is not required for their task.

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!
