For a one-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator with angular frequency ω, the energy eigenvalues are given by (E_n = \left(n+\tfrac{1}{2}\right)\hbar\omega). The potential energy operator is (V = \tfrac{1}{2}m\omega^2 x^2). For stationary states of the harmonic oscillator, the virial theorem applies and implies that
