Gaussian

Description

Gaussian[sigma] ket
Gaussian[sigma, dx] ket
implements a Gaussian superposition centred on ket, with sigma the standard deviation
if dx is not specified, it defaults to 1, where dx is step size

    the algorithm:
exp( - ED(x, y) / (2 * sigma ^ 2))
where ED(x, y) is the Euclidean distance between x and y
