Hey Guys! I've made some progress and everything looks neat. It turns out the imaginary part vanishes when the function is squared(due to its conjugate). If someone could verify my work I'd appreciate it. Thanks! \psi=C\exp^({\frac{ipx}{\hbar}-\frac{x^2}{2a^2}}) |\psi(x)|^2=C^2...

I've realized my mistake...face palm -_- Thanks! But I can't make progress at this point. Edit: I need the integral to find the normalisation constant, not for the actual density function. The thing that worries me is the x^2 and x term being together at the index.
