Reason for the Gaussian wave packet spreading
The explanation is really very simple to understand intuitively, and very beautiful.
Imagine that a particle an uncertainity in its velocity $v$ of $\delta v$. Suppose at $t=0$ we have $x=x_{0}$. Af …

Reason for the Gaussian wave packet spreading
I have recently read how the Gaussian wave packet spreads while propagating.
see:

Though I understand the mathemati …
