For the ground state of a quantum harmonic oscillator, we need to calculate the expectation values \(\langle x \rangle\) and \(\langle p_x \rangle\). ### Step 1: Ground State Wavefunction The ground-state wavefunction for a quantum harmonic oscillator is: \[ \psi_0(x) = \left(\frac{\alpha}{\pi}\right)^{1/4} e^{-\alpha x^2 / 2} \] where \[ \alpha = \frac{m\omega}{\hbar} \]
