quantum_defect: Quantum Defect Calculation.
In bgrich/starkr: Calculation of Stark Maps for Rubidium-85

quantum_defect calculates the quantum defect for an arbitrary state (n, l, j) for Rubidium-85

1	quantum_defect(n, l, j)

This function calculates the quantum defect for an arbitrary state (n, l, j) in Rubidium-85. Depending on the choices of l and j, the proper parameters will be selected and the quantum defect will be calculated according to equation (16.19) on pg. 351 of Rydberg Atoms by Gallagher. For example, given an arbitrary n, l = 1, and j = 1/2, the quantum defect for the state np_1/2 would be calculated.

@param n A numeric. The principle quantum number n. @param l A numeric. The orbital angular momentum quantum number l. @param j A numeric. The total angular momentum quantum number j.
