Consider the harmonic oscillator with =ħ/2m in the state (|1> + e^(i delta) |2>)/√2.

a) Write the state with its time dependence.
b) Find <x(t)>. This is probably easiest by writing x as (ħ/2m)½(a†+a).

Consider a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, in an energy eigenstate initially (at t=t0), to which we apply a time dependent force F(t). Write the Heisenberg equations of motion for x and for p. Now suppose F is a constant from time t0 to time t0+τ(tau), and zero the rest of the time. Find the average position of the oscillator <x(t)> as a function of time, after the force is switched off. Find the average amount of work done by the force,...

Imagine a harmonic oscillator with Hamiltonian H=p^2/2m+½x^2 For simplicity, we will assume that m=ℏ=1. First, we set up our system in the first excited state of this Hamiltonian. Second, we turn on an extra potential, V_ex(x)=x^4. Third, before the added potential has a chance to change the system state, we measure the energy.By expressing H and V_ex in terms of the raising and lowering operators, evaluate the average energy we would see if we repeated this whole process many times.

Consider an electron bound in a three dimensional simple harmonic oscillator potential in the n=1 state. Recall that the e- has spin 1/2 and that the n=1 level of the oscillator has l =1. Thus, there are six states {|n=1, l=1, ml, ms} with ml= +1, 0, -1 and ms = +/- 1/2. - Using these states as a basis find the six states with definite j and mj where J = L +s - What are the energy levels...
