dear Paolo<br><br>Thank you very much for your reply. I have done some tests on this issue and got some incomprehensible results. For a system with Kramer degeneracy, perform multiple calculations and draw the spatial distribution of an eigenstate. In repeated calculations, the spatial distribution of the states is almost the same. If in multiple calculations, the eigenstates calculated by QE are random (but orthonormal) linear combinations inside the degenerate subspace, then it seems that a consistent spatial distribution should not be obtained?<br><br>Zeng Zimeng<p>在2021-12-09 18:14:45,Paolo Giannozzi<a href="mailto:p.giannozzi@gmail.com">p.giannozzi@gmail.com</a>写道:</p><blockquote name="replyContent" style="padding-left: 1ex;margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex;border-left: 1px solid #ccc;"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>if I understand correctly your question: yes, ALL degenerate eigenstates are random (but orthonormal) linear combinations inside the degenerate subspace.
