The following is a section "Correlation Amplitude and the Energy-Time Uncertainty Relation" from *Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics book page 79*: [![enter image description here][1]][1] [![enter image description here][2]][2] **Question:** - What is the importance of the observation that if the interval for which $|E-E_0| \approx \frac{\hbar}{t}$ holds is much narrower than $\Delta E$ then there essentially no contribution to $C(t)$? Lastly, what is essentially the point of these observations? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/W3NJz.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/aOxGL.png
