4. The hamiltonian operator describing the behaviour of a particular molecule is given by H = \"{la) (GI + lb) {bl} {la} (bl + lb) (01} where the states la) and lb) are assumed to be orthonormal and form a basis. The constants a and are real numbers with dimension of energy. (a) (5 pts) Construct the matrix representation of operator H with respect to the basis composed of states la) and lb)- (b) (15 pts) Find the eigenvalues and corresponding normalized eigenstates of I? in terms of the two states la.) and lb). (c) (10 pts) Now let's say the molecule starts out initially in state lb) at t = 0. Find the wavefunction as function of time, expressed in terms of states la) and lb). ((1) (Bonus: 5 pts) What is the probability, as function of time, to nd the molecule in state la)
