  1. So it has two eigenstates, the ground state (0) with energy 0 and an excited state |e) with energy e.
  2. Now consider another hermitean operator with matrix elements in the eigenbasis of H given as follows
  3. Show that A has eigenvalues 1 with corresponding eigenkets |)
  4. Now at t = 0 a measurement of A yielded the value 1. Find the probability that after a duration of T one would measure again 1 eigenvalue for A Do not use matrix operations use entirely bracket notation. What is the probability to measure -1 eigenvalue under the same conditions.
