Pure States

Using the quantum purity test for the momentum representation of the position operator which you derived in Problem Set 5, determine by solving the resulting differential equation tex2html_wrap_inline471 , the momentum representation of a pure state with respect to position which always yields the position tex2html_wrap_inline473 when measured. Show explicitly that your form for tex2html_wrap_inline471 is a pure state of position of position tex2html_wrap_inline473 by transforming your result into real space to determine tex2html_wrap_inline479 .
