i can do eigenvalues , but not eigenvectors
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how??? is there any techniques or what?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
well start with the definition
the matrix T has eigenvalues lambda if
\[\textbf{T}|\alpha \rangle=\lambda|\alpha\rangle \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and then?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
re arranging the equation \[\left( \textbf{T}-\lambda \textbf{I}\right) | \alpha \rangle =0\]

we can divide out the vector
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you give some examples how to do that. the easiest one so i could understand.
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
now just take the determinate and set equal to zero
\[|\left( \textbf{T}-\lambda \textbf{I}\right) | =0\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
i cant really go on further without your matrix
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay okay i'll find one..
