Abstract: We compute the resolvent of the anti-commutator operator $XP+PX$ and of the quantum harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian operator $frac12(X^2+P^2)$. Using Stone's formula for finding the spectral resolution of an, either bounded or unbounded, self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space, we also compute their Vacuum Characteristic Function (Quantum Fourier Transform). We also show how Stone's formula is applied to the computation of the Vacuum Characteristic Function of finite dimensional quantum observables. The method is proposed as an analytical alternative to the algebraic (or Heisenberg) approach relying on the associated Lie algebra commutation relations.
