← ScienceWhich consequence arises when non-orthogonal wave functions describe degenerate quantum states?
A)Spurious oscillations will occur
B)Spectral broadening increases sharply
C)Energy values incorrectly separate✓
D)System becomes indefinitely isothermal
💡 Explanation
Incorrect energy separation arises because the Gram-Schmidt process was not performed which allows proper orthogonalization; therefore, calculated energy levels split artificially, rather than exhibiting the correct degeneracy under proper quantum simulation.
