An Infinite - Dimensional Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

چکیده
An analogue of the classical Heisenberg inequality is given for an infinite-dimensional space. The proof relies on a commutation relationship and integration by parts formula for Gaussian measure. We also discuss when the equality holds.

Heisenberg uncertainty relation and statistical measures in the square well
A non stationary state in the one-dimensional infinite square well formed by a combination of the ground state and the first excited one is considered. The statistical complexity and the Fisher-Shannon entropy in position and momentum are calculated with time for this system. These measures are compared with the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, ∆x∆p. It is observed that the extreme values of ∆x...

It is explicitly shown that there exist physical states (normalized to 1) in which the Robertson-Schrödinger and Heisenberg uncertainty relations are invalid , namely, the mean values of the physical operators are infinite. Consequently , these relations cannot imply a general physical principle. The explanation by the theory of functional analysis is given : for these states even the definitio...
متن کاملScale-Space Generation via Uncertainty Principles
This study is concerned with the uncertainty principles which are related to the Weyl-Heisenberg, the SIM(2) and the Affine groups. A general theorem which associates an uncertainty principle to a pair of self-adjoint operators was previously used in finding the minimizers of the uncertainty principles related to various groups, e.g., the one and twodimensional Weyl-Heisenberg groups, the one-d...
متن کاملOvercoming the Bradyon–Tachyon Barrier
In this study, the problem of overcoming the infinite energy barrier separating the bradyonic and tachyonic realms is investigated. Making use of the Majorana equation for particles with arbitrary spin and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is proved that, under certain conditions of spatial confinement, quantum fluctuations allow particles with very small mass and velocity close to the s...
متن کاملHeisenberg and Entropic Uncertainty Measures for Large-Dimensional Harmonic Systems
The D-dimensional harmonic system (i.e., a particle moving under the action of a quadratic potential) is, together with the hydrogenic system, the main prototype of the physics of multidimensional quantum systems. In this work, we rigorously determine the leading term of the Heisenberg-like and entropy-like uncertainty measures of this system as given by the radial expectation values and the Ré...
