1.  (a) Carry out the canonical quantization procedure for a simple pendulum consisting of mass m attached to a rigid massless rod of length L, that is fixed at the other end, and allowed to move in a single vertical plane. Take as your canonical coordinate the angle of the rod from vertical. (b) Give a ''qualitative'' account of the eigenfunctions of the Schroedinger equation by describing the limit of large and small energy (Hint: for this purpose you may ignore the fact that the angle is periodic and treat it as an unbounded coordinate).

2. Derive a recursion relation for the coherent states in the number state basis and use it to find the explicit expression for a coherent states given in the notes.

3. Show how the time ordering operator is used to reorder the Dyson series into exponential form.

4. Prove the Pauli matrix identities (e) and (f) of the notes.

a) Carry out the canonical quantization procedure for a simple pendulum consisting of mass m attached to a rigid massless rod of length L, that is fixed at the other end, and allowed to move in a single vertical plane. Take as your canonical coordinate the angle of the rod from vertical. (b) Give a ''qualitative'' account of the eigenfunctions of the Schroedinger equation by describing the limit of large and small energy (Hint: for this purpose you may ignore the fact that the angle is periodic and treat it as an unbounded coordinate).
