    "abstract": "We present an interesting result regarding the implication of truncating the\nwavepacket of the harmonic oscillator. We show that disregarding the\nnon-significant tails of a function which is the superposition of\neigenfunctions of the harmonic oscillator has a remarkable consequence: namely,\nthere exist infinitely many different superpositions giving rise to the same\nfunction on the interval. Uniqueness, in the case of a wavepacket, is restored\nby a postulate of quantum mechanics.",
