... As you determined in an earlier homework, < m|x|n > produces non-zero terms when m 6= n. It actually only allows for m = n ± 1 which mean that there are transitions from state n to state m. So, classically, there is the possibility of exciting an electron to a higher orbit, a higher oscillator state ...
