General Case

When we developed the momentum and position representations, we stressed that Parseval's theorem must hold. This is the case for the energy representation, so long as we define as discrete version of the Hermitian inner product as tex2html_wrap_inline508 . Prove that with this definition,

Explain, in terms of probability, why it must be the case that always tex2html_wrap_inline512 .
