Abstract
A quantum model for calculating the combined Stark and Zeeman effects of simultaneously applied electric and magnetic fields is presented. Our focus here is on atoms with hyperfine structure, such as Cesium. Matrix representations of the Stark, Zeeman, and hyperfine interaction operators are constructed using angular momentum theory and spherical tensor algebra. Matrix elements are evaluated in order to determine the energy-level dependence on the applied fields and reveal intriguing state dynamics in both parallel and orthogonal electric and magnetic fields. The fundamental physics is relevant for an advanced undergraduate or graduate quantum mechanics course.
