Wavevector distribution of an infinite-well ground state
ID: wavevector-distribution-of-an-infinite-well-ground-state
A centred width- infinite square well has ground state wavefunction inside and zero outside. Its momentum representation in quantum mechanics follows from the Fourier transform of a truncated cosine. The probability density in the title has removable singularities at , with limit , and an oscillatory tail envelope. The distribution is even, with and .
