Detailed Solution for Test: Quantum Mechanics - 2 - Question 11

The first two terms represent the kinetic energy of the particles.

The third term corresponds to the harmonic oscillator potential energy.

The last term ​ describes the spin-spin interaction.

Harmonic Oscillator Energy: For two particles in a harmonic potential, their positions can be decomposed into center-of-mass (R) and relative (r) coordinates:

The Hamiltonian separates into two harmonic oscillators:

  • Center-of-mass motion: 
  • Relative motion: 

Each harmonic oscillator contributes energy levels En   For the ground state (n=0), the total harmonic oscillator energy is:

Spin-Spin Interaction: The term depends on the relative spin orientation:

Since the ground state has net spin zero, the system is in the singlet state. The spin-spin interaction energy is:
