In this paper we derive the eigenfunctions to the Hamiltonian operator associated with the Harmonic Oscillator, and show that they are given by the Hermite functions. Then we prove that the Hermite functions form an orthonormal basis in the underlying Hilbert space. We also classify the inverse to the Hamiltonian operator as a Schatten-von Neumann operator. Finally, we derive the fundamental solution to the Schrödinger Equation corresponding to the Harmonic Oscillator using Mehler’s formula.
