Heisenberg's uncertainty principle implies fundamental constraints on what properties of a quantum system can we simultaneously learn. However, it typically assumes that we probe these properties via measurements at a single point in time.…

Generalized uncertainty principles are effective changes to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle that emerge in several quantum gravity models. In the present letter, we study the consequences that two classes of these modifications yield…

This paper originates from a naive attempt to establish various non-commutative Fourier theoretic inequalities for an inclusion of simple C*-algebras equipped with a conditional expectation of index-finite type. In this setting, we discuss…

The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, we provide an explicit form of the functions for which equality holds for the uncertainty inequalities studied in \cite{Fei}. Second, we establish an $L^p$-type Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty…

We study the formulation of the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics in terms of entropic inequalities, extending results recently derived by Bialynicki-Birula [1] and Zozor et al. [2]. Those inequalities can be considered as…

We obtain a new version of the Uncertainty Principle for functions with Fourier transforms supported on a lacunary set of intervals. This is a generalization of Zygmund's theorem on lacunary trigonometric series to the real line in the…

We revisit the uncertainty principle from the point of view suggested by A. Wigderson and Y. Wigderson. This approach is based on a primary uncertainty principle from which one can derive several inequalities expressing the impossibility of…

Classical results due to Ingham and Paley-Wiener characterize the existence of nonzero functions supported on certain subsets of the real line in terms of the pointwise decay of the Fourier transforms. Viewing these results as uncertainty…
