- Homework Statement
- Consider a system in a state
|ψ >=## frac{5/√50}*|φ0 > +frac{4/√50}*|φ1 > +frac{3/√50}*|φ2 >##
where |φ0 >, |φ1 > and |φ2 > are eigenstates of a harmonic oscillator
in ground, first and second excited state respectively.
(a) Find the average energy of this systemin the state |ψ >.
(b) What is the probability that |ψ > can be found in the state |φ1 >?
- Relevant Equations
- Avg Energy E=P(j)*E(j) (where E(n)=ℏw(n+0.5)
P(1)=## frac{|φ1|ψ>^2/<ψ|ψ > ##
