| Mar 23, 2015 at 22:55 | comment | added | Frank | The one before last step in the first derivation probably cannot be correct, because it is integrating over $p'$, but ignores the $p'$ before $\langle x\ |\ p'\rangle$. | |

| Mar 23, 2015 at 22:39 | comment | added | Frank | That is the question! It's wrong in at least one place, and probably several, and I can't seem to figure the wrong step(s) :-) | |
| Mar 23, 2015 at 22:38 | comment | added | user73762 | @Frank: You're right, I seem to have forgotten how to integrate and have deleted my unhelpful earlier comment. That leaves an obviously incorrect negative sign to be explained. Just how did you get a different sign for $\langle x|p \rangle$ in the first calculation compared to $\langle x|p^\prime \rangle$ in the second one? | |
