Formulation of the Uncertainty Principle According to the Hydrodynamic Model of Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

The uncertainty principle is formulated according to the hydrodynamic model of quantum mechanics. Tensorial uncertainty relations are established which relate the minimum uncertainty products to the quantum stresses in which the microphysical system is embedded. It is concluded that exterior perturbations due to measuring devices are not essential for the indeterminacy phenomenon. As an illustration, the hydrodynamic uncertainty relations are applied to elementary quantum systems.

Hydrodynamic Model of Quantum Mechanics

Horst E. Wilhelm

An analysis of typical microphysical systems is presented in the hydrodynamic formulation of quantum mechanics. The emphasis is on the physical peculiarities appearing in the hydrodynamic picture, and on the mathematical treatment of the nonlinear quantum-hydrodynamic field equations. Further, quantum-hydro-dynamic uncertainty relations are derived, which relate the minimum uncertainty products to the interior quantum stresses.

The Uncertainty Principle Derived by The Finite Transmission Speed of Light and Information

Piero Chiarelli

This work shows that in the frame of the stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) the uncertainty principle is fully compatible with the postulate of finite transmission speed of light and information. The theory shows that the measurement process performed in the large scale classical limit in presence of background noise, cannot have a duration smaller than the time need to the light to travel the distance up to which the quantum non-local interaction extend itself. The product of the minimum measuring time multiplied by the variance of energy fluctuation due to presence of stochastic noise shows to lead to the minimum uncertainty principle. The paper also shows that the uncertainty relations can be also derived if applied to the indetermination of position and momentum of a particle of mass m in a quantum fluctuating environment.

Analysis of uncertain prinsiple in quantum mechanics

Liu Di-di

The uncertainty principle,put forward by W. K.Heisenberg in 1927,includes the uncertainty relation between two mechanical quantities and uncertainty relation between energy and time.It makes the quantum mechanics to have an integrated mathematic description and a solid physical base.In this paper,we introduce the background,the process of uncertainty principle presented,and the applied aspect of the uncertainty principle.The important role of the debate in the science developing is stressed.

Uncertainty relation in viscous hydrodynamics and its effects in collective flow observables

Gyell Gonçalves de Matos, L. Henrique, Takeshi Kodama +1 more

Abstract The uncertainty relation is considered to be one of key features of quantum mechanics which distinguishes quantum and classical systems. Recently, we developed a new formulation of the uncertainty relation based on the generalized scheme of variational principle, the stochastic variational method (SVM). In this method, the uncertainty relation is related to the nondifferentiability of observables and thus can be obtained even in classical stochastic systems. This new formulation resolves the famous paradox in quantum mechanics, the angular uncertainty relation without introducing artificial assumptions. In this paper, we show that the fluctuations of position and momentum for a nonrelativistic viscous fluid element satisfies the uncertainty relation analogous to the corresponding quantum mechanical one. Such a fluctuation is sensitive to the temperature gradient at the freezeout surface and can affect the collective flow anisotropy in relativistic heavy‐ion collisions.

A brief analysis of the physical significance of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

Guannan Zhou

The principle of uncertainty is one of the essential principles of quantum mechanics as it outlines that there is a reflective limit to the measurement of microscopic particle motion. However it is impossible to measure at once and accurately both the position and momentum data of any microscopic particle no matter what means are used to do so. This paper starts by discussing the notion and mathematical derivation of the uncertainty principle as put forth by Heisenberg explaining the physical relevance of the principle. It introduces the natural uncertainty the principle introduces to the dynamics of particles in the microscopic world, and the significant part it plays in the theory of quantum mechanics. The article overviews the explanations of the principle on phenomena including atomic stability and scanning tunneling microscopes, and the interference of measurement actions on the states of particles and the shortcomings of measurement precision. According to the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics, this article gives a required theoretical basis of microscopic phenomena. Likewise, the use of the research theory on the uncertainty principle by distinguished scholars in the physics fraternity helps the readers in achieving the knowledge in related subjects more easily.
