Homework Statement
Given the following Hamiltonian:
And the observable:
Calculate the probability of measuring any of the possible values of A in the fundamental state.
The attempt at a solution
I have calculated the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian, being the eigenvalues {0,5,6}
So the fundamental state have a zero energy. Is this relevant? Or has the same procedure as if the fundamental state was non-zero?
Also, how can I relate A and H? I'm very lost in Matrix Mechanics...
