arc.alkali_atom_functions.AlkaliAtom.getReducedMatrixElementL

AlkaliAtom.getReducedMatrixElementL(n1, l1, j1, n2, l2, j2, s=0.5)

Reduced matrix element in \(L\) basis (symmetric notation)

Parameters:

• n1 (int) – principal quantum number of state 1

• l1 (int) – orbital angular momentum of state 1

• j1 (float) – total angular momentum of state 1

• n2 (int) – principal quantum number of state 2

• l2 (int) – orbital angular momentum of state 2

• j2 (float) – total angular momentum of state 2

Returns:

reduced dipole matrix element in \(L\) basis \(\langle l || er || l' \rangle\) (\(a_0 e\)).

Return type:

float
