Clebsch-Gordan CoefficientA mathematical symbol used to integrate products of three Spherical Harmonics.Clebsch-Gordan coefficients commonly arise in applications involving the addition of angular momentum in quantum mechanics. If products of more thanthree Spherical Harmonics are desired, then a generalization known as Wigner 6j-Symbol or Wigner 9j-Symbol is used. The Clebsch-Gordancoefficients are written

and are defined by

where . The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are sometimes expressed using the related Racah V-Coefficient
 | (3) |
or Wigner 3j-Symbol. Connections among the three are
