what is expectation vaules of commutator and anti commutator when the case is momentum and position. when the case is commutator: $$\langle i\hbar\rangle=?$$ when the case is anti commutator: $$\langle - i\hbar \rangle=?$$

$i\hbar$ is simply a number, or if you must regard it as an operator, a multiple of the identity. So $\langle i\hbar \rangle=i\hbar$, and so is $\langle -i\hbar \rangle$. By the way, anticommutator of $\hat{x}$ and $\hat{p}$ is not $[\hat{p},\hat{x}]$, but $\{\hat{x},\hat{p}\}=\hat{x}\hat{p}+\hat{p}\hat{x}$. |
