We prove lower bounds for the Dirichlet Laplacian on possibly unbounded domains in terms of natural geometric conditions. This is used to derive uncertainty principles for low energy functions of general elliptic second order divergence…

The uncertainty relation and the probability interpretation of quantum mechanics are intrinsically connected, as is evidenced by the evaluation of standard deviations. It is thus natural to ask if one can associate a very small uncertainty…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and let $\widehat{G}$ denote its dual group, equipped with a Haar measure. A variant of the uncertainty principle states that for any $S \subset G$ and $\Sigma \subset \widehat{G}$, there exists a…

We introduce a new technique to bound the fluctuations exhibited by a physical system, based on the Euclidean geometry of the space of observables. Through a simple unifying argument, we derive a sweeping generalization of so-called…

The uncertainty principle limits quantum states such that when one observable takes predictable values there must be some other mutually unbiased observables which take uniformly random values. We show that this restrictive condition plays…

The notion of nonlocality implicitly implies there might be some kind of spooky action at a distance in nature, however, the validity of quantum mechanics has been well tested up to now. In this work it is argued that the notion of…

We introduce a notion of localization for dyadic functions, i.e. functions defined on the Cantor group. Localization is characterized by functional $UC_d$ similar to the Heisenberg uncertainty constant used for real-line functions. We are…

The sign uncertainty principle of Bourgain, Clozel & Kahane asserts that if a function $f:\mathbb{R}^d\to \mathbb{R}$ and its Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ are nonpositive at the origin and not identically zero, then they cannot both be…

The uncertainty principle guarantees a non-zero value for the positional uncertainty, $\left\langle \Delta x^2\right\rangle > 0$, even without thermal fluctuations. This implies that quantum fluctuations inherently enhance positional…
