We propose a trade-off between the Lipschitz constants of the position and momentum probability distributions for arbitrary quantum states. We refer to the trade-off as a quantum reciprocity relation. The Lipschitz constant of a function…
The Kennard-type uncertainty relation $\Delta x\Delta p >\frac{\hbar}{2}$ is formulated for a free particle with given momentum < \hat{p}>$ inside a box with periodic boundary conditions in the large box limit. Our construction of a free…
Analyzing the point spectrum, i.e. bound state energy eigenvalue, of the Dirac delta function in two and three dimensions is notoriously difficult without recourse to regularization or renormalization, typically both. The reason for this in…
Heisenberg's position-measurement--momentum-disturbance relation is derivable from the uncertainty relation $\sigma(q)\sigma(p) \geq \hbar/2$ only for the case when the particle is initially in a momentum eigenstate. Here I derive a new…

Let $(\Omega, \mu)$, $(\Delta, \nu)$ be measure spaces and $p=1$ or $p=\infty$. Let $(\{f_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in \Omega}, \{\tau_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in \Omega})$ and $(\{g_\beta\}_{\beta\in \Delta}, \{\omega_\beta\}_{\beta\in \Delta})$ be…

We consider successive measurements of position and momentum of a single particle. Let P be the conditional probability to measure the momentum k with precision dk, given a previously successful position measurement q with precision dq.…
We solve the continuous one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the case of an inverted {\em nonlinear} delta-function potential located at the origin, obtaining the bound state in closed form as a function of the nonlinear exponent.…

In this study, we explore the validity of the original Heisenberg position- momentum uncertainty relation for a macroscopic harmonic oscillator interacting with environmental micro particles. Our results show that, in the quasi-classical…
Position uncertainty (delocalization) measures for a particle on the sphere are proposed and illustrated on several examples of states. The new measures are constructed using suitably the standard multiplication angle operator variances.…
We investigate a two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator, $-h^2 \Delta +iV(x)$, with a purely complex potential $iV(x)$. A rigorous definition of this non-selfadjoint operator is provided for bounded and unbounded domains with common…
Aiming towards a geometric description of quantum theory, we study the coherent states-induced metric on the phase space, which provides a geometric formulation of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations (both the position-momentum and the…

We consider the Schr\''odinger equation \begin{equation}\label{eq_abstract} i\partial_t u(t)=-\Delta u(t)~~~~~\text{ on }\Omega(t) \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation}where $\Omega(t)\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a moving domain depending on the time $t\in…
Learning physical properties of a quantum system is essential for the developments of quantum technologies. However, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle constrains the potential knowledge one can simultaneously have about a system in quantum…
Since their discovery in 1927, the Heisenberg Inequalities have become an icon of quantum mechanics. Often inappropriately referred to as the Uncertainty Principle, these inequalities relating the standard deviations of the position and…
The notions of error and disturbance appearing in quantum uncertainty relations are often quantified by the discrepancy of a physical quantity from its ideal value. However, these real and ideal values are not the outcomes of simultaneous…
