3-a. Average energy
ОглавлениеFor the term in H(t), the calculation is identical to the one we already did in § 1-b of Complement EXV. We first add to the series of orthonormal states |θi (t)〉 with i = 1, 2, …, N other orthonormal states |θi (t)〉 with i = N + 1, N + 2, …, to obtain a complete orthonormal basis in the space of individual states. Using this basis, we can express the one-particle and two-particle operators according to relations (B-12) and (C-16) of Chapter XV. This presents no difficulty since the average values of creation and annihilation operator products are easily obtained in a Fock state (they only differ from zero if the product of operators leaves the populations of the individual states unchanged). Relations (52), (53) and (57) of Complement EXV are still valid when the |θi〉 become time-dependent. We thus get for the average kinetic energy:

for the external potential energy:

and for the interaction energy:
