The wavefunction of a Gaussian wavepacket for a particle of mass m moving in one dimension is
ψ(x,t)=π1/411+iℏt/m1exp(−2(1+iℏt/m)x2)
Show that ψ(x,t) satisfies the appropriate time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
Show that ψ(x,t) is normalized to unity and calculate the uncertainty in measurement of the particle position, Δx=⟨x2⟩−⟨x⟩2.
Is ψ(x,t) a stationary state? Give a reason for your answer.
