Abstract
The heat equation is one of the fundamental equations in science. Its applications range from harmonic analysis to signal processing in mathematics; from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics in physics; and, in stochastic descriptions of genetics and population dynamics. I will describe specific solutions of the heat equation, known as Gaussian packets, and show how they arise in a quantum mechanical model of a neural network.
