Turns out that the perturbation order that I worked on is purely dissipative and that all that work was pointless lmao.
Update: Turns out that I was just sloppy and forgot to include transition rates in the final step of my calculation. Seems like I can proceed as usual.
Yeah, the physics PhD is fun huh
yeah science, yeah I know that…yeah… :( :jesse-wtf:
😔
Science do be like that :(
I’m sorry for ya, that sucks.
Joke response would be “sounds like a paper!”
It is an interesting discovery, but it‘s not enough for my entire thesis, meaning I basically have to start anew with either a higher perturbation order (more likely option) or a different system entirely. At least I am much better at characterising this shit, so it might not take quite as long.
