Obviously I'm new to QuTip, while browsing I noticed y-axis in those graphs is marked as expectation value
however expectation value is representing a measurement it cannot be negative.

Probabilities cannot be negative. Measurements of observables can be negative. For example a spin projected on a given direction can point up (+1) or down (-1) and oscillate, as shown in these plots.
