We re-derive the Schr\"{o}dinger-Robertson uncertainty principle for the position and momentum of a quantum particle. Our derivation does not directly employ commutation relations, but works by reduction to an eigenvalue problem related to…

A sharper uncertainty inequality which exhibits a lower bound larger than that in the classical N-dimensional Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is obtained, and extended from N-dimensional Fourier transform domain to two N-dimensional…

We study the process of dispersion of low-regularity solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation using fractional weights (observables). We give another proof of the uncertainty principle for fractional weights and use it to get a lower bound…

By examining two counterexamples to the existing theory, it is shown, with mathematical rigor, that as far as scattered particles are concerned the true distribution function is in principle not determinable (indeterminacy principle or…

The Heisenberg uncertainty relation, which links the uncertainties of the position and momentum of a particle, has an important footprint on the quantum behavior of a physical system. Analogous to this principle, we propose that…

We prove a simple uncertainty principle and show that it can be applied to prove Wegner estimates near fluctuation boundaries. This gives new classes of models for which localization at low energies can be proven.

We extend Strichartz's uncertainty principle [18] from the setting of the Sobolov space W 1,2 (R) to more general Besov spaces B 1/p p,1 (R). The main result gives an estimate from below of the trace of a function from the Besov space on a…
