Any linear combination of the above states
is still an eigenstate of H0,with the same eigenvalue E0
Essential problem:
When we turn off the perturbation, the “upper” state reduces down to one perturbation, the “upper” state reduces down to one linear combination of and , and the “lower” state reduce to some other linear combination, but we don’t know a priori what these good linear combination will be. For this reason we can’t even calculate the first-order energy (equation 1) because we don’t know what unperturbed states to use.0 a

Idea:
It would be greatly to our advantage if we could somehow guess the “good” states right from the start.1. Look around for some Hermitian operator A that commutes with H' ;

2. Pick as your unperturbed states ones that are simultaneously eigenfunctions of H0

Spin-spin coupling
The individual spin angular momenta are no longer conserved; the “good” states are eigenvectors of the total spin.
The electron and proton both have spin 1/2 .
