1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Is there a state that has definite non-zero values of [itex]E, L^2[/itex] and [itex]L_x[/itex]
2. Relevant equations
[itex]L^2[/itex] and [itex]L_z[/itex] commute with the Hamiltonian so we can find eigenfunctions for these
3. The attempt at a solution
I would say that there is a state with simultaneous eigenfunctions of [itex]L_x,L_y,L_z[/itex] and [itex]L^2[/itex], but with eigenvalues equal to zero. This being the state with [itex]l=0[/itex] and [itex]m=0[/itex], so there are no definite non-zero values of [itex]E, L^2[/itex] and [itex]L_x[/itex]. For other states [itex]L_x,L_y,L_z[/itex] and [itex]L^2[/itex] do not commute.
