Two operators A and B, representing observables A and B, have orthonormalized cigenstates y) and 72 with eigenvalues a, and az, and gy and gy with eigenvalues 6, and [ y 2, respectively. The eigenstates are related by = [$y + 2@s)/\5 and Yr = 2dr - (e 2V/VS. Initially the system is state Wj= yp. 8) Observable B is measured; determine the possible results and their corresponding probabilities by explicitly calculating . b) Right after the measurement of B, A is measured.
