Looking for examples of Physically-Meaningful, Non-Gaussian Wavefunctions

It is well known that a Gaussian wavefunction, such as:
psi (x) = exp [Ax^2 + Bx} (1)
has an uncertainty that satisfies the equality, not the inequality, in
the Heisenberg relationship, that is:
delta x delta p = 1/2 hbar (2)
for a Gaussian wavefunction.
I was hoping that someone can point me toward some physically-meaningful
wavefunctions psi(x) which are NOT Gaussians, i.e., wavefunction which,
after we Fourier transform them into psi(p) and then take the variance,
end up satisfying the inequality:
delta x delta p > 1/2 hbar (2)
I am looking, again, for wavefunctions that are physically meaningful,
which I suppose would mean that they are solutions to a field equation
or in some other way underlie observable physics.
Especially, I am interested in what one might take to be a non-Gaussian
wavefunction for a charged lepton, e.g., electron.
Thanks,
Jay.
