For the reduced quantum harmonic oscillator, $V(q)=q^2/2$ and the ground-state energy is $E_0=1/2$. Thus the classical turning points satisfy $q^2/2=1/2$, giving $q=\pm 1$. Normalizing the wavefunction gives ${\varphi }_0(q)={\pi }^{-1/4}{e}^{-q^2/2}$, because ${\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{e}^{-q^2}dq=\sqrt{\pi }$. The Born rule therefore gives the harmonic-oscillator forbidden-region probabilityThe factor two includes both tails. Using the exact complementary error function gives $\mathrm{erfc}(1)=0.1572992$. A stationary real wavefunction has zero probability current, so this result describes forbidden-region occupancy, not continuous loss of the bound particle.
