- The Hamiltonian for a one-dimensional system with mass \( m \), position \( q \), and momentum \( p \) is: \[ H(p, q) = \frac{p^2}{2m} + q^2 A(q) \] where \( A(q) \) is a real function of \( q \). If \[ m \frac{d^2 q}{dt^2} = -5q A(q), \] then \[ \frac{d A(q)}{d q} = n \frac{A(q)}{q}. \] The value of \( n \) (in integer) is:

A two-level quantum system has energy eigenvalues \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \). A perturbing potential \( H' = \lambda \Delta \sigma_x \) is introduced, where \( \Delta \) is a constant having dimensions of energy, \( \lambda \) is a small dimensionless parameter, and \( \sigma_x = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \).

Consider a two-level system with energy states \( +\epsilon \) and \( -\epsilon \). The number of particles at \( +\epsilon \) level is \( N+ \) and the number of particles at \( -\epsilon \) level is \( N- \). The total energy of the system is \( E \) and the total number of particles is \( N = N+ + N- \). In the thermodynamic limit, the inverse of the absolute temperature of the system is:
