Key Equations

$$\Psi(\vec{r}_1, \vec{r}_2) = \psi(\vec{r}_1, \vec{r}_2) \chi(s_1, s_2)$$
$$\chi_T \in \{|\uparrow\uparrow\rangle, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|\uparrow\downarrow\rangle + |\downarrow\uparrow\rangle), |\downarrow\downarrow\rangle\}$$
$$J = \int\int \psi_a^*(\vec{r}_1)\psi_b^*(\vec{r}_2)\frac{e^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0|\vec{r}_1-\vec{r}_2|}\psi_b(\vec{r}_1)\psi_a(\vec{r}_2)d^3r_1d^3r_2$$
$$k_B T_C \sim J$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
