Consider a free-particle wave packet in one dimension. At $t=0$ it satisfies the minimum uncertainty relation
[
leftlangle(Delta x)^{2}
ight
angleleftlangle(Delta p)^{2}
ight
angle=frac{hbar^{2}}{4} quad(t=0)
]
In addition, we know
[
langle x
angle=langle p
angle=0 quad(t=0)
]
Using the Heisenberg picture, obtain $leftlangle(Delta x)^{2}
ight
angle_{t}$ as a function of $t(t geq 0)$ when
$leftlangle(Delta x)^{2}
ight
angle_{t=0}$ is given. (Hint: Take advantage of the property of the minimum uncertainty wave packet you worked out in Chapter $1,$ Problem $1.18 .$ )
