The aim of this paper is to establish a few uncertainty principles for the Fourier and the short-time Fourier transforms. Also, we discuss an analogue of Donoho--Stark uncertainty principle and provide some estimates for the size of the…

We prove the logarithmic convexity of certain quantities, which measure the quadratic exponential decay at infinity and within two characteristic hyperplanes of solutions of Schr\"odinger evolutions. As a consequence we obtain some…

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in application to energy and time is a powerful heuristics. This statement plays the important role in foundations of quantum theory and statistical physics. If some state exists for a finite interval of…

A solution is given to a conjecture proposed by Y. Wigderson and A. Wigderson concerning a "Heisenberg-like" uncertainty principle. This is an old article already published in 2022.

We study uncertainty principles for orthonormal bases and sequences in $L^2(\R^d)$. As in the classical Heisenberg inequality we focus on the product of the dispersions of a function and its Fourier transform. In particular we prove that…

This note shows that Heisenberg's choice for a wave function in his original paper on the uncertainty principle is simply a renormalized characteristic function of a stable distribution with certain restrictions on the parameters. Relaxing…

We prove two forms of uncertainty principle for the Schr\"odinger group generated by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. As a consequence, we derive a related (in fact, equivalent) result for the imaginary harmonic oscillator.

We show how a number of well-known uncertainty principles for the Fourier transform, such as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the Donoho--Stark uncertainty principle, and Meshulam's non-abelian uncertainty principle, have little to do…

We present some forms of uncertainty principle which involve in a new way localization operators, the concept of $\varepsilon$-concentration and the standard deviation of $L^2$ functions. We show how our results improve the classical…

In this paper, we establish the Cowling--Price's, Hardy's and Morgan's uncertainty principles for the Opdam-Cherednik transform on modulation spaces associated with this transform. The proofs of the theorems are based on the properties of…

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…

We explore the new proofs and extensions of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle introduced by A.~Widgerson & Y.~Widgerson in [MR4229152], developed in [MR4453622] by N.C.~Dias, F.~Luef and J.N.~Prata and also in [MR4337266] by Y.~Tang. In…

The aim of this paper is to prove an uncertainty principle for the representation of a vector in two bases. Our result extends previously known qualitative uncertainty principles into quantitative estimates. We then show how to transfer…

Under Wigdersons' framework and by sorting out the technical points in the recent works of Tang (J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 31 (2025)) and Dias-Luef-Prata (J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 198 (2025)), we prove an abstract uncertainty principle for…

The celebrated Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle \Delta x \Delta p\ge \hbar/2 can allow measurement accuracies less than \Delta x or \Delta p. Classical analog of this is known as sub-Fourier sensitivity. We illustrate this phenomenon in a…

We derive an uncertainty principle for Lipschitz maps acting on subsets of Banach spaces. We show that this nonlinear uncertainty principle reduces to the Heisenberg-Robertson-Schrodinger uncertainty principle for linear operators acting on…

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.…

We prove a sharp version of the Hardy uncertainty principle for Schr\"odinger equations with external bounded electromagnetic potentials, based on logarithmic convexity properties of Schr\"odinger evolutions. We provide, in addition, an…

In this article, we study the Schr\"odinger equation posed in the Euclidean space. We prove observability inequalities for measurable sets that are thick with respect to decaying densities. The proof relies on quantitative uncertainty…

We give a new proof of the $L^2$ version of Hardy's uncertainty principle based on calculus and on its dynamical version for the heat equation. The reasonings rely on new log-convexity properties and the derivation of optimal Gaussian decay…
