Question:

Consider an isotropic harmonic oscillator in two dimensions. The Hamiltonian is given byimage

(a) What are the energies of the three lowest-lying states? Is there any degeneracy? 

(b) We now apply a perturbationimage

where δ is a dimensionless real number much smaller than unity. Find the zeroth-order energy eigenket and the corresponding energy to first order [that is, the unperturbed energy obtained in (a) plus the first-order energy shift] for each of the three lowest-lying states.

(c) Solve the H0 + V problem exactly. Compare with the perturbation results obtained in (b). [You may use image
