5. Consider a two-level perturbed system with (t) = ca(t)vae where the coefficients ca and c, evolve according to -Habe -iEat/h -iwot "Cb : cb (t) =- + co(t)e-Ent/h i 2hw, Cb h Here H' is the time-dependent perturbation introduced to the system and the matrix elements H, = (v₁\H'\v₁) are such that Haa = 0 = Hbb Now suppose that for some time-independent potential V, the perturbed Hamiltonian and its matrix elements are given by H' = e-it, Ha Vba -iwt e 2 2 = Hab (V). Assume the system starts off in state a. We have used the shorthand Vij = (a) Show that c, evolves according to the second-order equation: Vab|2 4h2 b=0.
