In this problem we are interested in the time-evolution of the states in the infinite square potential well. The time-independent stationary state wave functions are denoted as ψn(x) (n = 1, 2, . . .). (a) We know that the probability distribution for the particle in a stationary state is time-independent. Let us now prepare, at time t = 0, our system in a non-stationary state Ψ(x, 0) = (1/√( 2)) (ψ1(x) + ψ2(x)). Study the time-evolution of the probability...
