Solving the interaction zone
The partial wave amplitudes are obtained by solving the Schrodingerequation in the scattering region, where V 6= 0
we know that for V = 0 the general solution is
ψ =∑l ,m
[Al ,mjl(kr) + Bl ,mnl(kr)]Yml (θ, φ)
The incident particle is expressedin Cartesian coordinate and mustbe changed to spherical usingRayleigh’s formula
the full solution can now be written

Problem 9.7
The first term in the equation
cb ∼= −Vba
2~
[e i(ω0+ω)t − 1
ω0 + ω+
e i(ω0−ω)t − 1
ω0 − ω
]
comes from the e iωt/2 part of cos(ωt). and the second from e−iωt/2.Thus droppingthe first term is formally equivalent to writingH ′ = (V /q)e−iωt , which is to say,
H ′ba =Vba
2e−iωt , H ′ab =
Vab
2e iωt
Rabi noticed that if you make the rotating wave approximation at thebeginning of the calculation, the time dependent coefficient equations canbe solved exactly with no need for perturbation theory, and no assumptionof field strength.

Problem 9.7
(a) Solve for the time dependent coefficients with the usual startingconditions: ca(0) = 1, cb(0) = 0. Express your results in terms of theRabi flopping frequency,
ωr ≡ 12
√(ω − ω0)2 + (|Vab|/~)2
(b) Determine the transition probability, Pa→b(t), and show that it neverexceeds 1. Confirm |ca(t)|2 + |cb(t)|2 = 1.
(c) Check that Pa→b(t) reduces to perturbation theory result when theperturbation “small,” and state precisely what small means in thiscontext, as a constraint on V .
(d) At what time does the system first return to its initial state?
