The fundamental lower size limit in wavelength selecting structures is explored with the aid of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The analysis shows that for a given wavelength selectivity resonating structures with optical feedback…
In its original formulation, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle describes a trade-off relation between the error of a quantum measurement and the thereby induced disturbance on the measured object. However, this relation is not valid in…

It is the matter of fact that quantum mechanics operates with notions that are not determined in the frame of the mechanics' formalism. Among them we can call the notion of "wave-particle" (that, however, does not appear in both classical…
A principle is proposed according to which the dynamics of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional configuration space (OCS) is determined by a variational problem for two functionals: one is based on the mean value of the Hamilton…
A central feature of quantum metrology is the possibility of Heisenberg scaling, a quadratic improvement over the limits of classical statistics. This scaling, however, is notoriously fragile to noise. While for some noise types it can be…
Reduction is shown to be a possible consequence of the basic principles of quantum mechanics, involving no branching of the quantum state of the universe. The key feature of a measurement is attributed to the creation of macroscopic germs…

Motivated by the Generalized Uncertainty Principle, covariance, and a minimum measurable time, we propose a deformation of the Heisenberg algebra and show that this leads to corrections to all quantum mechanical systems. We also demonstrate…
We exhibit three inequalities involving quantum measurement, all of which are sharp and state independent. The first inequality bounds the performance of joint measurement. The second quantifies the trade-off between the measurement quality…
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…
It is well known that Schr\"{o}dinger's equation is only suitable for the particle in conservative force field. In atomic and molecular field, a particle can suffer the action of non-conservative force. In this paper, a new quantum wave…
The measurement problem of quantum mechanics concerns the question under which circumstances coherent wave evolution becomes disrupted to produce eigenstates of observables, instead of evolving superpositions of eigenstates. The problem…
Schroedinger's wave function shows many aspects of a state of incomplete knowledge or information ("bit"): (1) it is usually defined on a space of classical configurations, (2) its generic entanglement is, therefore, analogous to…
Quantum electro-mechanical systems offer a unique opportunity to probe quantum noise properties in macroscopic devices, properties which ultimately stem from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. A simple example of this is expected to…
