Perturbation theory is a mathematical method used to approximate the behavior of a quantum system by starting from a solvable system and adding a small interaction.

Perturbation theory expands solutions in powers of a small parameter.
Quantum methods/perturbation.

Overview

Many quantum systems cannot be solved exactly. Perturbation theory provides approximate solutions by expanding in a small parameter.

Types

  • Time-independent perturbation theory
  • Time-dependent perturbation theory

Applications

Used in atomic physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics.
