Given that

The particle in a one dimensional harmonic whose state vector is

Where p is the momentum operator.

And is some number with dimension of length.

The Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator is

The Heisenberg equation of motion is

---------(1)

Here - Any operator

And - Hamiltonian of the system.

Step 2 of 5

Substitute in equation, we get

For momentum

Comment
 Step 3 of 5

Rate of change of momentum = applied force

But

From the above two equations

This is 2nd order different equation & solution of this equation

-------------- (2)

At

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to‘t’, we get

At
