The given Hermitian operator is [ \hat{A} = 3|1\rangle\langle 1| - 1|2\rangle\langle 2| ] and the normalized state is [ |\psi\rangle = \frac{1}{2}|1\rangle + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}|2\rangle. ] First, the expectation value of (\hat{A}) in state (|\psi\rangle) is [ \langle \hat{A} \rangle = \langle \psi | \hat{A} | \psi \rangle. ] Expanding using the basis states: [ \langle \psi | \hat{A} | \psi \rangle = \left(\frac{1}{2}\langle 1| + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\langle 2|\right) \left(3|1\rangle\langle 1| - 1|2\rangle\langle 2|\right) \left(\frac{1}{2}|1\rangle + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}|2\rangle\right). ] Compute _________ __________ ________ ________ __________ ____ __________ _________ _______ _______ _______ _____.
