Abstract
The familiar wave function for a free particle in two dimensions and in a state with definite values of energy and angular momentum shows some unusual effects. We identify the origin of these subtleties as interference in two-dimensional space where Huygens’ principle breaks down. Our arguments are based upon the corresponding Wigner function.
