All energy eigen states (stationary states) have the form ψ ( x , t ) = ϕ ( x ) e − i ω t , where ω is the angular frequency so that ∣ ψ ( x , t ) ∣ 2 = ∣ ϕ ( x ) ∣ 2 implying that probability is independent of time.
Let ψ 1 ( x ) and ψ 2 ( x ) be two non-degenerate states such that follow above condition ψ 1 ( x , t ) = ϕ 1 ( x ) e − i ω 1 t
ψ 2 ( x , t ) = ϕ 2 ( x ) e − i ω 2 t
Let ψ ′ ( x , t ) = ψ 1 ( x , t ) + ψ 2 ( x , t )
Question: Is the wave function ψ ′ ( x ) a stationary state. Meaning is ∣ ψ ′ ( x , t ) ∣ 2 = ∣ ϕ ′ ( x ) ∣ 2
