Consider ∫ ψ ( x ) dx = N 2 ∫

dx = 1 . I would like to evaluate this integral in

order to determine the normalization constants. I observe that my function has simple
poles at x = ±iα . I choose the curve that goes along the real axis and curves in a wide
arc around infinity: Since the perimeter increases linearly with x and the value of this
function decreases with the square of x, the value of this arc is asymptotically zero.

where the imaginary parts from the formula above have cancelled one another in

not a function of time.
c) What is the form of the wave packet at time t = 0? Calculate for this
time the product Δx ⋅ Δp ; what is your conclusion? Describe
qualitatively the subsequent evolution of the wave packet.

At t = 0, the particle’s location is symmetric about x = 0. As you move away
from the x, the wave dies off as an inverse exponential.
