Problem

For a 1D harmonic oscillator, calculate: (i) the expectation value of energy, and (ii) the time evolution of the expectation values of the coordinate and momentum, provided that in the initial moment (t=0)(t=0) it was in the state described by the following ket-vector: ∣α⟩=12(∣31⟩+∣32⟩)|\alpha\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|31\rangle+|32\rangle) where ∣n⟩|n\rangle are the ket-vectors of the stationary (Fock) states of the oscillator.
