An electron in the Coulomb field of a proton is in the following state of coherent superposition of orthonormal states
Let
,
, and
represent the first three energy levels of the system. A sequence of measurements is done on the same system at different times. Energy is measured first at time
and the outcome is
. Then total angular momentum is measured at time
and finally energy is measured again at
. The probability of finding the system in a state with energy
after the final measurement is
. The value of
