Problem in Time Dependent Perturbation theory: Magnetic Resonance

Consider the Hamiltonian$H=H_{0}+H_{1}(t)$

$H_{0}=E_{1}|1\rangle \langle 1|+E_{2}|2\rangle \langle 2|$

$H_{1}(t)=\gamma e^{i\omega t}|1\rangle \langle 2|+\gamma e^{-i\omega t}|2\rangle \langle 1|$

where $E_{2}>E_{1}$, and $\gamma$ and $\omega$ are real and positive. At the time $t=0$ assume thatthe lower energy level is populated, i.e. the probability for the level 1 is one and the one for level 2 is zero.

(a) Assuming that the wavefuction of the system is given by

$\psi =a_{1}(t)e^{-iE_{1}t/\hbar }|1\rangle +a_{2}(t)e^{-iE_{2}t/\hbar }|2\rangle$

(b) Solve the coupled differential equations obtained in (a). For this purporse reduce the coupled equations to a single second order differential equation for $a_{1}$. The solutions are of the form $a_{j}(t)=C_{j}e^{i\lambda _{+}t}+D_{j}e^{i\lambda _{-}t},\ j=1,2$. Obtain the frequencies$\lambda _{+}$ and $\lambda _{-}$.

(c) Determine the coefficients $C_{1}$, $C_{2}$, $C_{3}$ and $D_{4}$ using the initial conditions spedified above. Note that the coefficients are not all independent($a_{1}$ and $a_{2}$ satisfy differential equations).

$i\hbar {\frac {\partial \Psi }{\partial t}}=H\Psi$

$a_{2}(t)=C_{2}e^{i\lambda _{+}t}+B_{2}e^{i\lambda _{-}t}$

$a_{2}(0)=0$

$C_{2}=-B_{2}$
