Superposition of Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Eigenstates: Expectation Values and Uncertainties

This Demonstration studies a superposition of two quantum harmonic oscillator eigenstates in the position and momentum representations The superposition consists of two eigenstates where and is the Hermite polynomial; the representations are connected via The topleft panel shows the position space probability density position expectation value and position uncertainty The topright panel shows the momentum space probability density momentum expectation value and momentum uncertainty The lower two panels show the real and imaginary parts of the wavefunction
