How do you reconcile the fact that the probability density for the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator (Figure 6.10c) has its peak at the center and its minima at its ends, whereas the classical harmonic oscillator’s probability density (Figure 6.11) has a minimum at the center and peaks at each end? If you do this experiment with an actual mass and spring, what experimental result for its position distribution would you expect to obtain? Why?
