Let the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian H be denoted by such that:
(1.1)
Also we can order the energy levels in such a way that:
(1.2)
Now, we can write the normalized wave function as a linear combination of the eigenstates:
(1.3)
And since is normalized we have:
(1.4)
Now,

(1.5)
Due to (1.2) and the fact that we can write equation (1.5) as an inequality:

(1.6)
Using (1.4) ...
