The problem of measuring an unbounded system attribute near a singularity has been discussed. Lenses have been introduced as formal objects to study increasingly precise measurements around the singularity and a specific family of lenses…
Quantum mechanical uncertainty relations for position and momentum are expressed in the form of inequalities involving the Renyi entropies. The proof of these inequalities requires the use of the exact expression for the (p,q)-norm of the…
In this work we study various notions of uncertainty for angular momentum in the spin-s representation of SU(2). We characterize the "uncertainty regions'' given by all vectors, whose components are specified by the variances of the three…
In contrast to the standard quantum state tomography, the direct tomography seeks the direct access to the complex values of the wave function at particular positions (i.e., the expansion coefficient in a fixed basis). Originally put…
The Heisenberg and Mandelstam-Tamm time-energy uncertainty relations are analyzed. The conlusion resulting from this analysis is that within the Quantum Mechanics of Schr\"{o}dinger and von Neumann, the status of these relations can not be…
We point out two interesting features of position-momentum uncertainty product: $U=\Delta x \Delta p$. We show that two special (non-differentiable) eigenstates of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator with the Dirac Delta potential $[V(x)=-V_0…
The uncertainty relation between angle and orbital angular momentum had not been formulated in a similar form as the uncertainty relation between position and linear momentum because the angle variable is not represented by a quantum…
It is shown that the well-defined unbiased measurement or disturbance of a dynamical variable is not maintained for the precise measurement of the conjugate variable, independently of uncertainty relations. The conditionally valid…
Recently, universally valid uncertainty relations have been established to set a precision limit for any instruments given a disturbance constraint in a form more general than the one originally proposed by Heisenberg. One of them leads to…
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that it is not possible to compute both the position and momentum of an electron with absolute certainty. However, this computational limitation, which is central to quantum mechanics, has no…
In Heisenberg's error-disturbance relation for electron position measurement, the measurement error must be the one that determines the uncertainty in the electron position just after the measurement. It is the resolution $\epsilon(x_t)$…
For a simple set of observables we can express, in terms of transition probabilities alone, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relations, so that they are proven to be not only necessary, but sufficient too, in order for the given observables to…
Measurement uncertainty relations are lower bounds on the errors of any approximate joint measurement of two or more quantum observables. The aim of this paper is to provide methods to compute optimal bounds of this type. The basic method…
A new uncertainty relation (UR) is obtained for a system of N identical pure entangled particles if we use symmetrized observables when deriving the inequality. This new expression can be written in a form where we identify a term which…
Uncertainty relations are usually formulated as trade-off relations between two or more observables. Here we show that the uncertainty of a single observable already has a nontrivial lower bound originating from the noncommutativity between…
A rigorous lower bound is obtained for the average resolution of any estimate of a shift parameter, such as an optical phase shift or a spatial translation. The bound has the asymptotic form k_I/<2|G|> where G is the generator of the shift…
An inequality refining the lower bound for a periodic (Breitenberger) uncertainty constant is proved for a wide class of functions. A connection of uncertainty constants for periodic and non-periodic functions is extended to this class. A…
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…
The uncertainty principle generally prohibits determination of certain pairs of quantum mechanical observables with arbitrary precision and forms the basis of indeterminacy in quantum mechanics. It was Heisenberg who used the famous…
The standard cosmological model, known as the LambdaCDM model, has been successful in many respects, but it has some significant discrepancies, some of which have not been resolved yet. In measuring the Hubble-Lematre parameter, there is an…
