Two identical, noninteracting spin-\frac{1 } particles of mass \(m\) are in the onedimensional harmonic oscillator for which the Hamiltonian is $$ \hat{H}=\frac{\hat{p}_{1 x}^{2}}{2 m}+\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} \hat{x}_{1}^{2}+\frac{\hat{p}_{2 x}^{2}}{2 m}+\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} \hat{x}_{2}^{2} $$ (a) Determine the ground-state and first-excited-state kets and corresponding energies when the two particles are in a total-spin-0 state. What are the lowest energy states and corresponding kets for the particles if they are in a totalspin-1 state? (b) Suppose the two particles interact with a potential energy of interaction $$ V\left(\left|x_{1}-x_{2}\right|\right)= \begin{cases}-V_{0} & \left|x_{1}-x_{2}\right|
