This document provides an overview of perturbation theory, which is an approximation method used to solve problems that cannot be solved exactly. It discusses how perturbation theory can be used when a Hamiltonian (H) can be separated into an unperturbed Hamiltonian (H0) that can be solved exactly and a perturbation (V). The key steps are: 1) Assume H0 can be exactly solved with eigenstates |n> and eigenenergies En. 2) The eigenstates and eigenenergies of the full Hamiltonian H can be approximated by expanding the eigenstates |n> of H0 in a perturbation series involving the perturbation V. 3) This allows problems that cannot be solved exactly to be approximated using perturbation
