The Einstein relation describes the response of a diffusing particle to a small constant external force. It states that, as the force tends to zero, the ratio of the limiting velocity to the force magnitude converges to the diffusivity…

Common misconceptions on the Heisenberg principle are reviewed, and the original spirit of the principle is reestablished in terms of the trade-off between information retrieved by a measurement and disturbance on the measured system. After…
