Homework Statement
The ground state wave function of a one-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator is
[tex]\varphi_0(x) \propto e^(-x^2/x_0^2)[/tex], where [tex]x_0[/tex] is a constant. Given that the wave function of this system at a fixed instant of time is [tex] \phi\phi \propto e^(-x^2/y^2)[/tex] where y is another constant., find the probablity, that if the energy is measured , the system will be in the ground state
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex] dP=|\varphi_0|^2 dx[/tex]
According to my book(Peebles) , [tex]=|\varphi_0|^2=|\phi_0|^2[/tex];, so therefore [tex] dP=|\phi_0|^2 dx[/tex]?
