Why does Gaussian packet satisfy the minimum uncertainty relation?
(a) Show that the equality sign in the generalized uncertainty relation holds if the state in question satisfies
A|a)=XB|)
with X being purely imaginary (b) We have shown in class that the wave function for a Gaussian wave packet given by -1/4 i(px)x' (x'-(x))2 (x|a)=(2Tl2) dxe h 412
satisfies the minimum uncertainty relation (()((p.) = . Prove that the requirement
(x'Ax|a) = X(x|Apx|a), with X an imaginary number
is indeed satisfied for such a Gaussian wave packet, in agreement with (a) (c) Show that the expectation value of the anticommutation i and pr with respect to (a) vanishes; i.e.,
(a|{x,px}|a)=0.
