A quantum system has two energy eigenstates Ea) and E). The states are orthonormal with energies E. = 3.0 eV and Et = 7.0 eV, respectively. A particle is prepared in the state, |(t = 0)) = Ea) +√³|Eb) (1) (a) What is the probability that an energy measurement, made at t=0 would yield 3 eV? (b) What is the probability that an energy measurement, made at t=0 would yield Ea+Eb = 6.0 eV? (c) What is (t)) (the state at some later time t)? (d) What is the probability that an energy measurement, made at time t (again, t > 0), would yield 3 eV?
