3. The eigenfunctions in Problem 2 can be written in the form ?nx,ny,nz (x, y, z) = ?nx(x) ?ny(y) ?nz(z), 1 with ni = 0, 1, 2, ... and i = x, y, z. Suppose the oscillator was initially prepared in the state corresponding to ?(x, y, z; 0) ? \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}?_0(x)?_0(y)?_0(z) + \frac{1}{2}?_1(x)?_0(y)?_0(z) + \frac{1}{2}?_0(x)?_1(y)?_0(z) (a) Normalize the above wave function. (b) Determine the expectation value of the energy as functions of time. (c) Determine the expectation values of x, y, and z as functions of time. (d) Determine the probabilities for observing the system in the eigenstates (nx, ny, nz) as functions of time: i. (0,0,0), ii. (1,0,0), iii. (0,1,0), iv. (0,0,1), v. (137,0,0).
