... Their eigenvalues provide the allowed values for those quantities; • Measurement sensitivity is reflected in the action of those operators. In particular, the commutator of two different operators define whether or not the corresponding quantities can be simultaneously known; • Time evolution is ful ...

... Thus eigenfunctions belonging to different eigenvalues are orthogonal. In the case that ψm and ψn are degenerate eigenfunctions, so m 6= n but Em = En , the above proof of orthogonality does not apply. But it is always possible to construct degenerate functions that are mutually orthogonal. A genera ...
