Exercise 1: Find the local energy for the harmonic oscillator

a) Derive the local energy for the harmonic oscillator in one dimension and find its expectation value.

b) Show also that the optimal value of optimal $\alpha=1$

c) Repeat the above steps in two dimensions for $N$ bosons or electrons. What is the optimal value of $\alpha$?
