Asymptotic behaviour of the probability density in one dimension
arXiv:quant-ph/0109151 · doi:10.1119/1.1473643
Abstract
We demonstrate that the probability density of a quantum state moving freely in one dimension may decay faster than 1/t. Inverse quadratic and cubic dependences are illustrated with analytically solvable examples. Decays faster than 1/t allow the existence of dwell times and delay times.
