Is it true that for a QM operator in its matrix form must be in the same basis that the state its acting on for the matrix multiplication to make sense. For example for me to multiply the matrix form of the Hamiltonian of the system with an eigenfunction of the hamiltonian should all the matrix elements for the hamiltonian operator be made using the eigenbasis of the hamiltonian. If so then please provide a proof. If this isnt the...

To generate the excited states for the quantum harmonic oscillator, one repeatedly applies the raising operator ˆa+ to the ground state, increasing the energy by ~ω with each step: ψn = An(ˆa+) nψ0(x) with En = (n + 1 2 )~ω where An is the normalization constant and aˆ± ≡ 1 √ 2~mω (∓ipˆ+ mωxˆ). Given that the normalized ground state wave function is ψ0(x) = mω π~ 1/4 e − mω 2~ x 2 , show that the first...
