Question
A wavefunction with this shape is the propagator of the diffusion equation. The normalizable solution to the Schrödinger equation for a free particle is typically assumed to be a wavefunction with this shape. Because the Fourier transform of a wavefunction with this shape also has this shape, those wavefunctions satisfy the lower bound of the uncertainty principle. A wavefunction with this shape is the ground state of the quantum harmonic (*) oscillator. Uniquely, ■END■
