1 A particle of unit mass is subject to harmonic oscillator potential with frequency ω . (a)
Evaluate the expectation values ⟨n│x p │m⟩ where n and m are two arbitrary quantum numbers
(leave your answer in terms of Kronecker delta symbols). (b) Find out if , in general (not just for the
harmonic oscillator), the operator x p is hermitian operator.

2 Consider two operators A= [0 -i ; i 0] and B= [1 0 ; 0 -1] on the space of two level system
(with basis states [1; 0] and [0; 1) . Please see the figure. (a) Find the eigen values and the
corresponding normalised eigen kets for both the operators. (b) If the particle is initially in the
state of the lowest eigenvalue state of the operator A and then B measurement is done, what are
the possible outcomes and the corresponding probabilities (no marks for outcomes as that is
