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.

For a particle in a 1-dimensional infinitely deep box of length L, the normalized wave function or the 1st excited state can be written as:
Ψ2(x) = {1/i(2L)1/2} ( eibx -e-ibx), where b = 2π/L.
Give the full expression that you need to solve to determine the probalibity of finding the particle in the 1st third of the box. Simplify as much as possible but do not solve any integrals.
Consider a particle of mass m, located in a potential energy well.one-dimensional (box) with infinite height walls. The wave function that describes this system is:Ψn(x) = K sin (nπx /L), for 0 ≤ x ≤ LΨn(x) = 0 for any other value.K is a constant and n = 1,2,3,... Determine K*K = │K│2
