Quantum Mechanics II Guest Lecture

less than 1 minute read

Published:

I was recently invited to give a guest lecture at Georgia Tech for a graduate level quantum mechanics course. I chose to give a short talk on using perturbation theory to derive an effective Hamiltonian. This is the usual second order perturbation theory derivation of obtaining the Heisenberg Hamiltonian from the Hubbard Hamiltonian. My notes on this topic are available for anyone interested.
