Graduate Squared operators and sums of operators in practice
Consider a one dimensional harmonic oscillator. We have: $$\hat{n} = \hat{a}^{\dagger} \hat{a} = \frac{m \omega}{2 \hbar} \hat{x}^2 + \frac{1}{2 \hbar m \omega} \hat{p}^2 - \frac{1}{2}$$ And: $$\hat{H} = \hbar \omega (\hat{n} + \frac{1}{2})$$ Let's say we want to measure the total...- Dror
