But also first-order perturbation theory for degenerate states leads to a matrix eigenvalue problem.

Corresponding to each eigenvalue there are a finite number of degenerate states.

It seems to have had an unusual amount to start with, of course, but the rotational speed is chiefly a result of its degenerate state.

Even in the darkness of the inner passage he could see its degenerate state.

From the perspective of quantum statistical mechanics, several degenerate states at the same level are all equally probable of being filled.

The eigenvalue of an operator which distinguishes between degenerate states is called a quantum number.
