ψ(x) real part
|φ(k)|² (scaled)
Uncertainty Gauge — ratio × (ħ/2)
Dashed line = minimum ħ/2 (Gaussian only)

Position spread σx
—
ħ=1 units
Momentum spread σp
—
ħ=1 units
Product σx · σp
—
in units of ħ/2
Ratio = (σx·σp) / (ħ/2)
—
—
Heisenberg bound: σx · σp ≥ ħ/2
Minimum-uncertainty state: Gaussian only.
Ratio ≡ 1.000 ← saturated.
Any other shape → ratio > 1.
