Problem 1:
Consider this problem from the class notes. Solve part (a) of the problem using the density matrix formalism.
(a) The density operator at time t = 0 is ρ(0) = |νe><νe|. Write down the density matrix ρ(0) in the eigenbasis
of the Hamiltonian {|ν1>,
|ν2>}.
(b) Write down the matrix of H in this basis and find the matrix of [H,ρ(0)].
(c) Find dρnm/dt at t = 0 and solve for ρnm(t).
(d) Find the probability that a measurement at time t will yield an electron
neutrino.
