This is a table of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients used for adding angular momentum values in quantum mechanics. The overall sign of the coefficients for each set of constant , , is arbitrary to some degree and has been fixed according to the Condon–Shortley and Wigner sign convention as discussed by Baird and Biedenharn.[1] Tables with the same sign convention may be found in the Particle Data Group's Review of Particle Properties[2] and in online tables.[3]

The Clebsch–Gordan coefficients are the solutions to

Explicitly:

The summation is extended over all integer k for which the argument of every factorial is nonnegative.[4]

For brevity, solutions with m < 0 and j1 < j2 are omitted. They may be calculated using the simple relations

SU(N) Clebsch–Gordan coefficients

Algorithms to produce Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for higher values of and , or for the su(N) algebra instead of su(2), are known.[6] A web interface for tabulating SU(N) Clebsch–Gordan coefficients is readily available.
