Abstract
Normalized wave packets express particles in nature. Their sizes are determined by their interactions with matter, and depend on environments. Nevertheless, these characterize scatterings processes in realistic situations, and govern the absolute values of transition probabilities. This paper studies the wave packet sizes and their implications.
