A quantum system has a complete set of orthonormal eigenstates, , with nondegenerate energy eigenvalues, , where Write down the wave-function, in terms of the eigenstates.
A linear operator acts on the system such that
Find the eigenvalues of and obtain a complete set of normalised eigenfunctions, , of in terms of the .
At time a measurement is made and it is found that the observable corresponding to has value 3. After time is measured again. What is the probability that the value is found to be 1 ?
