Homework Statement
A free particle moving in one dimension is in the initial state ψ(x,0). Prove that
<p> is constant in time by direct calculation (i.e., without recourse to the
commutator theorem regarding constants of the motion).
Homework Equations
<p> = m*(d<x>/dt) ?
S.E.
ψ(x,0)= 1/(√(2∏))*∫Θ(k)e^(ikx)dk
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not really sure where to start... Should I find <x> ? is that the easiest way? And how do you this for a free particle ? stuff is confusing me. Can someone give me a start here...
