I appreciate the response. Anywhere I may be able to find an explicit example of this?

I was wondering about the proper way to say, \langleA|B\rangle . I have recently heard, "The inner product of A with B." But I'm not sure if this is correct. Does anyone know the proper order in which to place A and B in the sentence? As a simple example: Suppose you're speaking with...

Yes. Word for word. Maybe it is supposed to be something like; "Find the expectation value of p...and then do the same thing in p-space." But that seems too simple and we've already covered that. The p operator in p-space is just p.

Homework Statement A particle is in the ground state of a simple harmonic oscillator, potential → V(x)=\frac{1}{2}mω^{2}x^{2} Imagine that you are in the ground state |0⟩ of the 1DSHO, and you operate on it with the momentum operator p, in terms of the a and a† operators. What is the...
