Although we won't use coherent states much in this course, coherent states do have applications in all sorts of odd corners of physics, and working out their properties is an instructive exercise in manipulating annihilation and creation operators. It suffices to study a single harmonic oscillator; the generalization to a free field (= many oscillators) is trivial. Let H=\frac{1}{2}(p^{2}+q^{2}) and, as usual, let us define a=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(q+i p) \quad a^{\dagger}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(q-i p) Define the coherent state $|z\rangle$ by \begin{equation*} |z\rangle=N e^{z a^{\dagger}}|0\rangle \tag{P4.2} \end{equation*} where $z$ is a complex number and $N$ is a real, positive normalization factor (dependent on $z$ ), chosen such that $\langle z \mid z\rangle=1$. The set of all coherent states for all values of $z$ is obviously complete. Indeed, it is overcomplete: The energy eigenstates can all be constructed by taking successive derivatives at $z=0$, so the coherent states \footnotetext{ ${ }^{1}$ [Eds.] Roy J.

The two-particle density of states factor, $D$, in the center-of-momentum frame, $\mathbf{P}_{T}=\mathbf{0}$: \begin{equation*} D=\frac{1}{16 \pi^{2}} \frac{|\mathbf{p}_{f}| d \Omega_{f}}{E_{T}}. \end{equation*} where we have used the notation: the final particles' momenta $|\mathbf{p_f|$ in the center-of-momentum frame The factor $d\Omega_f$ describes the solid angle associated with $d^3\mathbf{p}_f$.} Find the formula that replaces this one if $\mathbf{P}_{T} \neq \mathbf{0}$. Comment: Although the center-of-momentum frame is certainly the simplest one in which to work, sometimes we want to do calculations in other frames, for example, the "lab frame", in which one of the two initial particles is at rest.

When we attempted to quantize the free Dirac theory \begin{equation*} \mathscr{L}= \pm \bar{\psi}(i \partial \!\!\!/-m) \psi \tag{P12.1} \end{equation*} with canonical commutation relations, we encountered a disastrous contradiction with the positivity of energy. We succeeded when we used canonical anticommutators (if we chose ( $\pm$ ) to be + ). Much earlier we were able to quantize the free charged scalar field, \begin{equation*} \mathscr{L}= \pm(\partial_{\mu} \phi^{*} \partial^{\mu} \phi-\mu^{2} \phi^{*} \phi) \tag{P12.2} \end{equation*} with canonical commutators (if we chose $( \pm)$ to be + ). Attempt to quantize the free charged scalar field with (nearly) canonical anticommutators: \begin{align*} \{\phi(\mathbf{x}, t), \phi(\mathbf{y}, t)\} & =\{\dot{\phi}(\mathbf{x}, t), \dot{\phi}(\mathbf{y}, t)\}=0 \\ {\phi(\mathbf{x}, t), \phi^{*}(\mathbf{y}, t)} & ={\dot{\phi}(\mathbf{x}, t), \dot{\phi}^{*}(\mathbf{y}, t)}=0 \tag{P12.3}\\ {\phi(\mathbf{x}, t), \dot{\phi}^{*}(\mathbf{y}, t)} & =\lambda \delta^{(3)}(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}) \end{align*} where $\lambda$ is a (possibly complex) constant. Show that one reaches a disastrous contradiction with the positivity of the norm in Hilbert space; that is to say: \begin{equation*} \langle\phi|{\theta, \theta^{\dagger}}|\phi\rangle \geq 0 \tag{21.20} \end{equation*} for any operator $\theta$ and any state $|\phi\rangle$. Hints: (1) Canonical anticommutation implies that, even on the classical level, $\phi$ and $\phi^{*}$ are Grassmann variables. If you don't take proper account of this (especially in ordering terms when deriving the canonical momenta), you'll get hopelessly confused. (2) Dirac theory is successfully quantized using anticommutators; the sign of the Lagrangian is fixed by appealing to the positivity of the inner product in Hilbert space. If we attempt to quantize the theory using commutators, we get into trouble with the positivity of the energy. The Klein-Gordon theory is successfully quantized using commutators; the sign of the Lagrangian is fixed by appealing to the positivity of energy. So it's to be expected that we'd get into trouble, if we attempted to quantize the Klein-Gordon theory with anticommutators, with the positivity of the inner product. (3) You should do the expansion \begin{align*} \phi(x) = \int \frac{d^3 \mathbf{p}}{(2\pi)^{3/2}\sqrt{2\omega_{\mathbf{p}}}} [b_{\mathbf{p}} e^{-i\mathbf{p}\cdot x} + c_{\mathbf{p}}^\dagger e^{i\mathbf{p}\cdot x}], \end{align*} and output $\{b_p,b_p^\dagger\}, \{c_p,c_p^\dagger\}$. Hint: You can use $a = \mathrm{Re}\lambda,b=\mathrm{Im}\lambda$. You should return your answer as a tuple format.

These fields interact with each other (and possibly with unspecified scalar and pseudoscalar fields) in some way that is invariant under $P, C$, and $T$, where these operations are defined in the "standard way": \begin{equation*} U_{P}^{\dagger} \psi(\mathbf{x}, t) U_{P}=\beta \psi(-\mathbf{x}, t) \tag{22.8} \end{equation*} Likewise, \begin{equation*} U_{C}^{\dagger} \psi(x) U_{C}=\psi'(x) \tag{22.49} \end{equation*} in a Majorana basis (one in which $\gamma^{\mu}=-\gamma^{\mu *}$ ).

$\mathrm{SU}(3)$ allows only one possible coupling of the electromagnetic current to a quark and an antiquark. Thus (by the same reasoning used for the decuplet in the previous problem), in the limit of perfect $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ symmetry, if quarks are observable, their magnetic moments would be proportional to their charges. In the non-relativistic limit, \begin{equation*} \boldsymbol{\mu}=\kappa q \boldsymbol{\sigma}, \tag{P21.2} \end{equation*} where $\kappa$ is an unknown constant, $q$ is the electric charge of the quark in question, and $\boldsymbol{\sigma}$ is the vector of Pauli spin matrices. \footnotetext{ ${ }^{1}$ [Eds.] "An Introduction to Unitary Symmetry", the Erice notes from the summer of 1966, originally published in Strong and Weak Interactions - Present Problems, Academic Press, 1966, and reprinted in Coleman Aspects. } In the naive quark model discussed in class, the baryons are considered as non-relativistic three-quark bound states with no spin-dependent interactions. Thus, as in atomic physics, we can compute the baryon moments in terms of the quark moments, that is, in terms of the single unknown constant $\kappa$, if we know the baryon wave function. For the lightest baryon octet, the one that contains the proton and the neutron, there is no orbital contribution to the magnetic moments because each quark has zero orbital angular momentum. Thus all we need is the spin-flavor-color part of the wave function. Of course, since the assumption of perfect $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ already gives all the baryon moments in terms of the proton and neutron moments, the only new information we get from this analysis is the ratio of these moments. Compute the ratio and compare it to experiment. Remark. It's clear from the way the calculation is set up that it's the total moment you will be computing, not the anomalous moment. Be careful that you don't use the anomalous moments when you make the computation. Hint: You will need the spin-flavor part of the wave functions for both the proton and the neutron to do this problem. Here is an easy way to construct them without resorting to tables of $3 j$ symbols. It is trivial to construct the wave function for the $I_{z}=J_{z}=\frac{3}{2}$ state of the $\Delta$; it is $|u \uparrow, u \uparrow, u \uparrow\rangle$, with all three quarks being up quarks, and all three spinning up. If we apply both an isospin lowering operator and a spin lowering operator to this, we obtain the $I_{z}=J_{z}=\frac{1}{2}$ state of the $\Delta$. The $J_{z}=\frac{1}{2}$ state of the proton must be orthogonal to this. The $J_{z}=\frac{1}{2}$ state of the neutron (up to an irrelevant phase) is obtained from the proton state by exchanging $u$ and $d$.

The model \begin{equation*} \mathscr{L}=\frac{1}{2}(\partial_{\mu} \boldsymbol{\Phi}) \cdot(\partial^{\mu} \boldsymbol{\Phi})-U(\boldsymbol{\Phi}) \end{equation*} was a theory with spontaneous breakdown of $\mathrm{U}(1)$ internal symmetry. The particle spectrum of the theory consisted of a massless Goldstone boson and a massive neutral scalar. Furthermore, this term in the Lagrangian \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{2} \rho^{2}(\partial_{\mu} \theta)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} a^{2}(\partial_{\mu} \theta)^{2}+a \rho^{\prime}(\partial_{\mu} \theta)^{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho^{\prime 2}(\partial_{\mu} \theta)^{2} \tag{P24.5} \end{equation*} gives rise to the decay of the massive meson into two Goldstone bosons, with an invariant Feynman amplitude proportional to $a^{-1}$. (This is not a misprint: before reading the decay amplitude from the Lagrangian, we must first rescale $\theta$ to put the free Lagrangian in standard form.) Now consider the theory minimally coupled instead to a massive photon with mass $\mu_{0}$ (before symmetry breaking). What is the photon mass after the symmetry breaks? Comment: The Abelian Higgs model is the same theory minimally coupled to a massless photon.
