Equality requires the centred vectors and to be imaginary scalar multiples. Thus, for some ,In the position representation this is a first-order differential equation, whose normalizable solutions areHence the states saturating the position-momentum uncertainty relation are Gaussian wave packets, up to translation, modulation, and phase.
