% ex  Expectation value of an operator
%    ex(op,rho) is the expectation value of the operator op
%    for the density matrix rho.  If rho is not normalized,
%    it is automatically normalized to have trace 1.
%    If instead of rho a state vector is given then it is 
%    automatically converted to a normalized density matrix.
