The wavefunction is given by$\mathit{ψ}\left(x,0\right)\mathbf{=}\mathit{A}\left[{\mathrm{ψ}}_1\left(x\right)+{\mathrm{ψ}}_2\left(x\right)\right]$.

First, find the normalization constant as:

$$\begin{gathered} 1={∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\left|\mathrm{ψ}\left(x,0\right)\right|}^{2}dx \\ ={∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\mathrm{ψ}}^{*}\mathrm{ψ}dx={\left|A\right|}^2{∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\left[{\mathrm{ψ}}_1\left(x\right)+{\mathrm{ψ}}_2\left(x\right)\right]}^{*}\left[{\mathrm{ψ}}_1\left(x\right)+{\mathrm{ψ}}_2\left(x\right)\right]dx \\ ={\left|A\right|}^2\left[{∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\mathrm{ψ}}_1^{*}{\mathrm{ψ}}_{1}dx+{∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\mathrm{ψ}}_1^{*}{\mathrm{ψ}}_{2}dx+{∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\mathrm{ψ}}_2^{*}{\mathrm{ψ}}_{1}dx+{∫}_{-∞}^{∞}{\mathrm{ψ}}_2^{*}{\mathrm{ψ}}_{2}dx+\right] \end{gathered}$$

Use the orthogonality condition, eliminate the second and the third integrations, whereas the first and the fourth integrations each one of them is equal to one; therefore,

$$\begin{gathered} 1={\left|A\right|}^2\left[1+0+0+1\right] \\ =2{\left|A\right|}^2 \\ A=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \end{gathered}$$

Assume $\mathrm{Ó\neg }={\mathrm{Ï€}}^2\mathrm{Ä\S }/2m{a}^2$this will lead equation ( ) to become$E_{\mathrm{n}}=n^2\mathrm{Ó\neg }\mathrm{Ä\S }$, and therefore:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{ψ}\left(x,t\right)=A\left[{\mathrm{ψ}}_1\left(x\right)e^{-i{E}_{1}t/\mathrm{Ä\S }}+{\mathrm{ψ}}_2\left(x\right)E^{-i{E}_{2}t/\mathrm{Ä\S }}+\right] \\ =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\left[\sqrt{\frac{2}{a}}\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)e^{-i\mathrm{Ó\neg }t}+\sqrt{\frac{2}{a}}s\mathrm{in}\left(\frac{2\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)e^{-4i\mathrm{Ó\neg }t}\right] \\ =\sqrt{\frac{1}{a}}\left[\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)e^{-i\mathrm{Ó\neg }t}+s\mathrm{in}\left(\frac{2\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)e^{-4i\mathrm{Ó\neg }t}\right] \end{gathered}$$

The modulus squared of the wavefunction is:

Now find the expectation value of the position as follow:

The first integral could be solve use integration by parts and assume $u=x$, then $du=dx$, and$dv={\sin }^2\left(\frac{2\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)$ and by the use of integration table $v=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{a}{4\mathrm{Ï€}}\sin \left(\frac{2\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)$, therefore:

localid="1656316627360" $$\begin{gathered} ={∫}_0^{a}x{\sin }^2\left(\frac{\mathrm{π}}{a}x\right)dx=\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{ax}{4\mathrm{π}}\sin \left(\frac{2\mathrm{π}}{a}x\right)\overline{){}_0^a-\left[{∫}_0^a\frac{x}{2}-\frac{a}{4\mathrm{π}}\sin \left(\frac{2\mathrm{π}}{a}x\right)dx\right]} \\ ={\left[\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{ax}{4\mathrm{π}}\sin \left(\frac{2\mathrm{π}}{a}x\right)-\frac{a^2}{8{\mathrm{π}}^2}\cos \left(\frac{2\mathrm{π}}{a}x\right)\right]}_0^a \\ \frac{a^2}{4} \end{gathered}$$

Do the same thing to the third integration and get the same result again. For the second integration use identity $\sin \left(\mathrm{Î\pm }\right)\sin \left(\mathrm{β}\right)=1/2\left[\cos \left(\mathrm{Î\pm }-\mathrm{β}\right)-\cos \left(\mathrm{Î\pm }-\mathrm{β}\right)\right]$then perform an integration by parts and obtain the result as:

$$\begin{gathered} =\cos \left(3\mathrm{Ó\neg }t\left[3\right]\right){\left[\frac{a^2}{{\mathrm{Ï€}}^2}\cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)+x\frac{a}{\mathrm{Ï€}}\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)-\frac{a^2}{9{\mathrm{Ï€}}^2}\cos \left(\frac{3\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)-x\frac{a}{3\mathrm{Ï€}}\sin \left(\frac{3\mathrm{Ï€}}{a}x\right)\right]}_0^a \\ =\cos \left(3\mathrm{Ó\neg }t\right)\left[-\frac{16a^2}{9{\mathrm{Ï€}}^2}\right] \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the expectation value of the position will be:

The expectation value of the momentum could be found by the use of the expectation value of the position, as:

Given below is two possible energies’ $E_1$and $E_2$, where,

$E_1=\frac{{\mathrm{Ï€}}^2{\mathrm{Ä\S }}^2}{2m{a}^2}{E}_2=\frac{{\left(2\right)}^2{\mathrm{Ï€}}^2{\mathrm{Ä\S }}^2}{2m{a}^2}$and each one has a probability of one half (i.e., $p_1=p_2=1/2$), therefore, the average energy (i.e., the expectation value of the energy) is:

The expression for${\mathrm{σ}}_H^2$is given by:

The expression foris given by:

$H^2\mathrm{ψ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left[\left(H^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_1\right)e^{-E_{1}t/\mathrm{Ä\S }}+\left(H^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_2\right)e^{-E_{n}t/\mathrm{Ä\S }}\right]$

Where,

$$\begin{gathered} H{\mathrm{ψ}}_1=E_1{\mathrm{ψ}}_1 \\ {H}^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_1=E_{1}H{\mathrm{ψ}}_1 \\ =E_1^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_1 \end{gathered}$$

And $H^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_2=E_2^2{\mathrm{ψ}}_2$.

The expectation value ofwill be:

localid="1656347269478"

Substitute all the known values in the expression of ${\mathrm{σ}}_H^2$.

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{σ}}_H^2=\frac{1}{2}\left(E_1^2+E_2^2\right)-\frac{1}{4}{\left(E_1+E_2\right)}^2 \\ =\frac{1}{4}\left(2E_1^2+2E_2^2-E_2^2-E_1^2-2E_1{E}_2-E_2^2\right) \\ =\frac{1}{4}\left(E_1^2-2E_1{E}_2+E_2^2\right) \\ =\frac{1}{4}{\left(E_2-E_1\right)}^2 \\ Thus:{\mathrm{σ}}_H=\frac{1}{2}\left(E_2-E_1\right) \end{gathered}$$

Solve the steps as given below,

And from problem 2.4 obtain the result as :

From the calculated values the expectation value of $x^2$will be,

Calculate ${\mathrm{σ}}_x^2$as:
