🎯 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle 2D: Gaussian Wave Packet & Fourier Transform

Interactive 2D Canvas demo of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: a Gaussian wave packet |psi(x)|^2 plotted beside its analytic Fourier transform |phi(p)|^2, with live Delta x, Delta p and Delta x times Delta p versus hbar/2.

A Canvas2D dual-plot demo of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: a Gaussian wave packet |psi(x)|^2 in position space is drawn beside its analytic Fourier transform |phi(p)|^2 in momentum space. Sliders adjust the position spread sigma_x and central wave number k0, a live HUD reports Delta x, Delta p and their product against the hbar/2 lower bound, and an optional evolve mode spreads the packet over time like a free particle.
