Consider the full time-dependent wavefunctions Ψ(x, t) = ψ(x)φ(t). For the case of an infinite square well in 1D, these were Ψn(x, t) = Sqrt (2/L) sin(nπx/L) e^(−i(En/h)t In general, the probability density |Ψn|2 is time-independent. But suppose instead of being ina fixed energy state, we are in a special state Ψmix(x, t) = √12(Ψ1 − iΨ2). What is the time-dependent part of |Ψmix|2?

As you know, a common example of a harmonic oscillator is a mass attached to a spring. In this problem, we will consider a horizontally moving block attached to a spring. Note that, since the gravitational potential energy is not changing in this case, it can be excluded from the calculations. For such a system, the potential energy is stored in the spring and is given by U=12kx2, where k is the force constant of the spring and x is...
