In physics, a wave packet (also known as a wave train or wave group) is a short burst of localized wave action that travels as a unit, outlined by an...

In physics, a trojan wave packet is a wave packet that is nonstationary and nonspreading. It is part of an artificially created system that consists of...

Localized wave packets, "bursts" of wave action where each wave packet travels as a unit, find application in many fields of physics. A wave packet has an...

Using wave packets, however, the states can be expressed as functions that are normalizable. Using the Fourier inversion theorem, the free particle wave function...
