Show that the uncertainty in the momentum of a ground-state harmonic oscillator is  (where h is h-bar, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant).
Consider the wave function for the free particle, as shown. At what value of x is the particle most likely to be found at a given time? (a) at x = 0 (b) at small nonzero values of x (c) at large values of x (d) anywhere along the x axis
The first four Hermite polynomials of the quantum oscillator areH0 = 1, H1 = 2x, H2 = 4x2 − 2, H3 = 8x3 − 12x.  Let p(x) = 12x3 − 8x2 − 12x + 7. Using the basis H = {H0, H1, H2, H3}, find the coordinate vector ofp relative to H. That is, find [p]H. This is a textbook question, not a graded question
