Position Shift Fourier ``Real Space'' Displacement Theorem

Confirm that your results satisfy the general Fourier theorem on the multiplication by a phase of functions:

Explain this in terms of what you know from the method of stationary phase. How is this shift in the spatial position of the center of the packet reflected in the momentum probability distribution ?

Hint: Again you should be able to do this without more integration.
