Question:

Suppose the perturbation takes the form of a delta function (in time):

assume that Uaa = Ubb = 0, and let Uab = U*ba Ξ α. If ca (-∞) = 1 and cb (-∞) = 0, find ca(t) and cb(t), and check that |ca(t)|2 +  |cb(t)|2 = 1. What is the net probability (Pa→b  for t → ∞) that a transition occurs?
