Hyperfine interaction review

The proton’s magnetic moment in-teacts with the electron’s spin mag-netic moment to create the hyper-fine splitting

the proton’s magnetic field seen by the electron is

~Bp =µ0

4πr3[3(~µp · r̂)r̂ − ~µp] +

2µ03~µpδ

the hyperfine interaction is simply H ′hf = −~µe · ~Bp which gives an energycorrection of

for states with l = 0 the first term vanishes and we are left with an energycorrection which depends on a coupling between the spin of the protonand the spin of the electron

Variational theorem

Suppose that we wish to calculate the ground state energy, Egs , of asystem with Hamiltonian H which cannot be solved exactly (a verycommon occurrence!).

Using the variational principle it is possible toobtain an upper bound on Egs .

If ψ is an arbitrary normalized wavefunction, we can write

where ψn are the (unknown) eigen-functions of H, which form a com-plete set

ψ =∑n

Hψn = Enψn

the normalization condition for ψ requires

1 = 〈ψ|ψ〉 =

⟨∑m

Proof of variational theorem

If we take the expectation value of the Hamiltonian with this arbitrarywave function, ψ we have

〈H〉 =

⟨∑m

∣∣∣∣∣ H∑n

⟩=∑m

c∗mEncn〈ψm|ψn〉 =∑n

En|cn|2

since the ground state energy mustbe the smallest eigenvalue of theHamiltonian, then Egs ≤ En andwe can write

〈H〉 ≥ Egs

|cn|2 = Egs

This is the so-called variational principle which allows us to compute anupper bound on the ground state energy and, if we make a judiciouschoice of arbitrary wave function, ψ (ie. not arbitrary at all!) we can getvery close to the actual ground state energy.

In practice this means we minimize the value of the Hamiltonianexpectation value to achieve this upper bound.
