摘要
The wave packet spread of a particle in a collection of different mass particles, all with Gaussian wave functions, evolves to a value that is inversely proportional to the mass of the particle. The assumptions underlying this result and its derivation are reviewed. A mathematical demonstration of the convergence of an iteration central to this assertion is presented. Finally, the question of in-principle measurement of wave packet spread is taken up.
