I know this from a quantum mechanics class:

$$\langle \psi_i | \psi_j\rangle = \delta_{ij}$$

But does it also apply for:

$$\langle \psi_i |V| \psi_j\rangle = \delta_{ij}$$

where $V$ is any arbitrary potential? That is, if I try to compute the expectation value of $V$ using 2 different states $\psi_i$ and $\psi_j$ I get $0$?

**The context:**

I am trying to compute the eigenvalues of the particle in a box with an added potential $V$. To do this, the strategy I decided on was to compute like so:

$$\langle H_{total} \rangle = \langle -\frac{\hbar ^2}{2m}\frac{\partial ^2}{\partial x^2} + V \rangle$$
$$\langle H_{total} \rangle = \langle -\frac{\hbar ^2}{2m}\frac{\partial ^2}{\partial x^2} + (V_0 + V_{new}) \rangle \quad ; \quad V_0 \text{  is the potential for the particle in a box, which is zero, and  }V_{new} \text{   is the added potential.} $$

$$\langle H_{total} \rangle = \langle H_0 \rangle + \langle V_{new} \rangle$$

These are all matrices. So I'd fill the diagonal of the $H_0$ matrix using the analytic equation for the total energy and then fill the $V_{new}$ matrix, then add the two matrices together. Finally, I would compute the eigenvalues of this final matrix.

So where does my question come into all of this? Well, I know that the only values in $H_0$ are on the diagonal, but I didn't know if that also applies to the $V_{new}$ matrix as well.
