I'm trying to understand how Hamiltonian matrices are built for optical applications. In the excerpts below, from the book "Optically polarized atoms: understanding light-atom interaction", what I don't understand is: Why are the \mu B parts not diagonal? If the Hamiltonian is \vec{\mu} \cdot...
In a matrix the sum of element of a matrix in a row times it's co factor of that elemt gives the determinant value, but why does the sum of element of a matrix times cofactor of different row is always zero?
In quantum mechanics, observable variables are represented by operators, and thus can be replaced by matrix in a certain basis.

Hey everyone
Let's say I have two generators, a and b, with the following relations:
a^{5}=b^{2}=E
bab^{-1}=a^{-1};
Where E is the Identity element.
What I've done so far is this - the number of elements of the group is the product of the exponents of both generators, which is 10...
How many elements does each of these sets have where a and b are distinct elements? (with steps please)
a) P({a,b{a,b}})b)P({∅,a,{a},{{a}}})
c)P(P(∅))

I understood that heavy elements could only be formed in stars or supernovae explosions. However I have just read that plutonium can be made by firing deuterons at uranium. Now uranium is a smaller atom than plutonium so what it going on?

This is a challenge problem I thought of: Given a real-valued matrix A, develop an algorithm that finds the submatrix with the greatest sum of its element. (If there's a tie, just return an arbitrary submatrix that's tied for the win.)
Is there a way other than brute force?

Essentially, I have to show that where {e_1,...,e_n} forms the basis of L, no family of vectors {e'_1 ,..., e'_m} with m>n can serve as the basis of L. The book shows this by saying there exists a 0 vector such that 0 = \sum_{i=1}^{m}x_ie'_i, where not all x_i vanish. I wanted to show it by...
