Two quantum harmonic oscillators with the same frequency ω\omega are placed in thermal contact. Initially, oscillator 1 has average energy ⟨E1⟩=5ℏω\langle E_1 \rangle = 5\hbar\omega and oscillator 2 has ⟨E2⟩=3ℏω\langle E_2 \rangle = 3\hbar\omega. After reaching thermal equilibrium, what is the most likely energy difference ∣⟨E1⟩−⟨E2⟩∣|\langle E_1 \rangle - \langle E_2 \rangle| between the oscillators?
