Comment on "The negative flow of probability"

Quantum Physics 2020-10-27 v2

Abstract

The left-to-right motion of a free quantum Gaussian wave packet can be accompanied by the right-to-left flow of the probability density, the effect recently studied by Villanueva [Am. J. Phys. 88, 325 (2020)]. Using the Wigner representation of the wave packet, we analyze the effect in phase space, and demonstrate that its physical origin is rooted in classical mechanics.
