Question

According to this paragraph (the fundamental problem of quantum mechanics is this:Given the wave function at some initial instant say t=0,find the wave function at any subsequent time t.)Do you think this could be related to the fact that the wave function is a wave packet? According to this paragraph (the fundamental problem of quantum mechanics is this:Given the wave function at some initial instant say t=0,find the wave function at any subsequent time t.)Do you think this could be related to the fact that the wave function is a wave packet?

Explanation / Answer

Yes. the probability of finding the particle for a particular region is nothing but the wave packet. The square of the wave function is described as the probability. Therefore, the wave function and the wave packet are related through the probability.
