An atom in the ground state of a quantum harmonic oscillator has a wavefunction ψ(x) that gives rise to a probability distribution P(X)=|ψ(x)|^2 for the position of the particle X. For a specific harmonic oscillator potential, the wavefunction is given by: ψ(x)=(1/4*(2π)^1/4)e^(−x^2−4x+4/1024) By calculating |ψ(x)|^2 and rearranging
