Griffiths, Ch. 2 uses a slightly different notation for the raising and lowering operators in the 1D Harmonic Oscillator than I am. The dictionary is

me̲ Griffiths̲ a =ℏωa − a † =ℏωa + \begin{split} \underline{\text{me}} &\quad\underline{\text{Griffiths}}\\ a &= \sqrt{\hbar\omega} a_-\\ a^\dagger & = \sqrt{\hbar\omega} a_+ \end{split}
