Question
Consider a quantum mechanical system with three states. At each step a particular particle transitions from one state to a different state. Empirical data show that if the particle is in State 1, the n it is 5 times more likely to go to State 2 at the next step than to State 3. If it is in State 2, the n it is 6 times more likely to go to State 3 at the next step than to State 1. If it is in State 3 the n it is equally likely to go to State 1 or State 2 at the next step. Let A be transition matrix for this markov chain. Find a31, a32, and a33 (i. e. , find the last row in the transition matrix)Explanation / Answer
a31 =1/2
a32=1/2
a33=0
