Cascaded quantum measurementsAn operatorˆA, representing observableA, has two normalized eigenstates|ψ1〉and|ψ2〉, with eigenvaluesa1anda2, respectively. OperatorˆB, representing observableB, has two normalized eigenstates|φ1〉and|φ2〉, with eigenvaluesb1andb2.The eigenstates are related by|ψ1〉=15(3|φ1〉+ 4|φ2〉),|ψ2〉=15(4|φ1〉−3|φ2〉).(1)(a) Show that if|φ1〉and|φ2〉are properly normalized, so are|ψ1〉and|ψ2〉.(b) ObservableAis measured, and the valuea1is obtained. What is the state of thesystem immediately after this measurement?Hint: note that I did not tell youwhat the state of the system was before the measurement. Does it matter?(c) Immediately after the measurement ofAfounda1,Bis now measured. What arethe possible results, and what are their probabilities?(d) Right after the measurement ofB, Ais measured again. What is the probabilityof gettinga1?Hint: note that I did not specify which value ofbwas obtained, soyour calculation has to allow for the possibility that either one was

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
