释义

Wigner-Eckart Theorem

A theorem of fundamental importance in spectroscopy and angular momentum theory which provides both (1) an explicit form forthe dependence of all matrix elements of irreducible tensors on the projection quantum numbers and (2) a formal expression of theconservation laws of angular momentum (Rose 1995).

The theorem states that the dependence of the matrix element on the projection quantum numbers is entirelycontained in the Wigner 3j-Symbol (or, equivalently, the Clebsch-GordanCoefficient), given by

where

is a Clebsch-Gordan Coefficient and

is a set of tensor operators (Rose 1995, p. 85).
