dextercioby Science Advisor Insights Author Messages 13,419 Reaction score 4,227 Nov 29, 2011 #2 There's no amplitude, but probability amplitude to obtain spectral values of a certain observable being measured.

hokhani Messages 620 Reaction score 22 Nov 29, 2011 #3 yes but how can we get close to the classical significance "Oscillator Amplitude"?
Dickfore Messages 2,987 Reaction score 5 Nov 29, 2011 #4 The coherent states follow most closely the classical motion of a linear harmonic oscillator.
hokhani Messages 620 Reaction score 22 Nov 29, 2011 #5 ok, thanks then, if we want to examine a classical harmonic oscillator by quantum approach, how should we regard the most displacement from center?
