We calculate the uncertainties in the position and momentum of a particle in the 1D potential V(x)=F|x|, F>0, when the position and momentum operators obey the deformed commutation relation [x,p]=i\hbar(1+\beta p^2), \beta>0. As in the…
Entropic uncertainty relations $H(A)+H(B)\geqslant \gamma$ give a nonzero lower bound $\gamma$ to the sum of the Shannon entropies $H$ of the outcome probabilities of incompatible observables $A$ and $B$. They are better than the…
A survey on the generalizations of Heisenberg uncertainty relation and a general scheme for their entangled extensions to several states and observables is presented. The scheme is illustrated on the examples of one and two states and…
A general theory of preparational uncertainty relations for a quantum particle in one spatial dimension is developed. We derive conditions which determine whether a given smooth function of the particle's variances and its covariance is…
We define a set of fully Lorentz-invariant wave packets and show that it spans the corresponding one-particle Hilbert subspace, and hence the whole Fock space as well, with a manifestly Lorentz-invariant completeness relation (resolution of…
We address the question, does a system A being entangled with another system B, put any constraints on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation (or the Schrodinger-Robertson inequality)? We find that the equality of the uncertainty relation…
For angular observables pairs (angular momentum-angle and number-phase) the adequate reference element of normality is not the Robertson-Schr\"{o}dinger uncertainty relation but a Schwarz formula regarding the quantum fluctuations. Beyond…
Incompatibility of observables, or measurements, is one of the key features of quantum mechanics, related, among other concepts, to Heisenberg's uncertainty relations and Bell nonlocality. In this manuscript we show, however, that even…
In this comment on the paper by F. Kaneda, S.-Y. Baek, M. Ozawa and K. Edamatsu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 020402, 2014, arXiv:1308.5868], we point out that the claim of having refuted Heisenberg's error-disturbance relation is unfounded since…
The uncertainty relations, pioneered by Werner Heisenberg nearly 90 years ago, set a fundamental limitation on the joint measurability of complementary observables. This limitation has long been a subject of debate, which has been reignited…
A scheme for construction of uncertainty relations (UR) for n observables and m states is presented. Several lowest order UR are displayed and briefly discussed. For two states |\psi> and |\phi> and canonical observables the (entangled)…
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 position-momentum uncertainty principle shares with the equivalence principle the role of main pillar of our current description of nature. However, in its original formulation it is inconsistent with special relativity, and…
We demonstrate that for an arbitrary number of identical particles, each defined on a Hilbert-space of arbitrary dimension, there exists a whole ladder of relations of complementarity between local, and every conceivable kind of joint (or…
We study the sum uncertainty relations based on variance and skew information for arbitrary finite N quantum mechanical observables. We derive new uncertainty inequalities which improve the exiting results about the related uncertainty…
We formulate and prove a new, universally valid uncertainty relation for the necessary errors bar widths in any approximate joint measurement of position and momentum.
An uncertainty relation for the R\'enyi entropies of conjugate quantum observables is used to obtain a strong Heisenberg limit of the form ${\rm RMSE} \geq f(\alpha)/(\langle N\rangle+\frac12)$, bounding the root mean square error of any…
Uncertainty relations provide constraints on how well the outcomes of incompatible measurements can be predicted, and, as well as being fundamental to our understanding of quantum theory, they have practical applications such as for…
Uncertainty relations are a distinctive characteristic of quantum theory that impose intrinsic limitations on the precision with which physical properties can be simultaneously determined. The modern work on uncertainty relations employs…
We construct a multi-observable uncertainty equality as well as an inequality based on the sum of standard deviations in the qubit system. The obtained equality indicates that the uncertainty relation can be expressed more accurately, and…
