Physics 651 Homework 12: Gaussian Wave Packet Expectation Values, Assignments of Quantum Mechanics

Oregon State University (OSU)Quantum Mechanics

The twelfth homework assignment for physics 651, a university-level quantum mechanics course, due on october 29, 2007. Students are asked to calculate the expectation values of position squared (x2) and momentum squared (p2) for a gaussian wave packet using two different approaches: expressing the state in terms of position (x) and momentum (p) bases. The reading assignment for this week is sakurai chapter 1.
