Hamiltonian operators

Derive, in the position representation, the Hamilton tex2html_wrap_inline466 (total energy) operator for a single particle moving with energy tex2html_wrap_inline468 from the condition that the average energy of the particle computed from tex2html_wrap_inline470 must match the average energy computed from the position and momentum operators tex2html_wrap_inline464 and tex2html_wrap_inline462 .
