Classify the following scenario involving a quantum particle: A particle in a potential well where its position and momentum are uncertain and evolve according to a wave function over time. Which category does this scenario best represent?

The scenario describes a particle whose quantum state is described by a wave function that changes over time while it is trapped in a potential well. Because the particle’s position and momentum are not fixed but spread out, the situation illustrates the uncertainty principle and the continuous evolution of the wave function. These features are characteristic of quantum state dynamics, which studies how wave functions evolve under the influence of a Hamiltonian. For example, a particle in a one‑dimensional infinite square well has a time‑dependent wave function that oscillates between different energy eigenstates, showing the same kind of uncertainty and evolution. Thus, the scenario best fits the category of quantum state dynamics.
