Multiple choice
A state has unperturbed energy E0=2E_0 = 2 and a perturbation H′H' with matrix elements ⟨0∣H′∣0⟩=0.4\langle 0|H'|0\rangle = 0.4 and ⟨1∣H′∣0⟩=0.3\langle 1|H'|0\rangle = 0.3; the other level sits at E1=5E_1 = 5. Through second order, E=E0+⟨0∣H′∣0⟩+∣⟨1∣H′∣0⟩∣2/(E0−E1)E = E_0 + \langle 0|H'|0\rangle + |\langle 1|H'|0\rangle|^2/(E_0 - E_1). What is EE?
