Near-resonant excitation of a two-level system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework task involving the near-resonant excitation of a two-level quantum system. The user is struggling to transform the problem into a single decoupled second-order differential equation and seeks guidance on this process. They have attempted to derive the equations for the coefficients but remain unclear on the subsequent steps and the necessity of using a program for solving the equations. Assistance is requested to clarify how to proceed with the solution. The conversation highlights the challenges of understanding the mathematical transformations involved in quantum mechanics.

The Attempt at a Solution



I looked at this task with the notes from the class, but I can't really see through. It seems that the first step is the transformation into the single decoupled second order differential equation, but I don't actually understand how to do that and at which point I need a program to solve it. Can someone guide me through the solution process?

Write the two equations for ##\dot{c}_0## and ##\dot{c}_1## and derive both sides with respect to time. It shouldn't be too hard to see then how to obtain the two uncoupled equations.
 
Hello,
thank you for helping me.

I tried to do that and obtained the following:

If this is correct, I still don't see what I have to do in the next step and when I have to use a program.
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
