Problem:<strong>Wave</strong>-<strong>Particle</strong> <strong>Duality</strong>How should we underst<strong>and</strong> the co-existence of particle<strong>and</strong> wave nature (duality) in particles?In particular, what does the wave-nature of particle meanfor a particle at rest (p = 0, λ infinity) ?Note that wave is ‘extended’, i.e. spread out overspace. However particle is ‘localized’.How can one construct a wave that is localized in space?<strong>Wave</strong> packet !!!73
