The general vibrational state of a diatomic molecule can be exactly described by expanding its wave function in the set of orthonormal harmonic oscillator (HO) wave functions. The latter are defined AHoWnH0 = E,Ho w,HO with the set of associated eigenvalues E,HO = ħw (n + %) The vibrational state of a particular diatomic molecule is prepared in a state described by the normalized wavefunction Wvib = 1/(2)1/2 w, HO + 1/ (3)/2 W̟HO + 1/(6)/2 w,HO What is the expectation value of AHO for the state Wyib in terms of ħw?
