Abstract

This work discusses the differences between the energy-time Heisenberg uncertainty relation and the temporary violation of energy conservation counterpart. Based on this counterpart, the meaning of the Planck energy, reduced Planck energy, Planck mass and reduced Planck mass are discussed.

The Explanatory Context of Energy-Time Uncertainty Relation

Zhao Da

There are many controversies on energy—time uncertainty relation. Because of the confused role time plays in quantum mechanics, the references and meanings of energy—time uncertainty relation are different in different explanatory contexts. But what do time and energy really mean? What is the philosophical foundation of this relationship? The article bases on the three different meanings of time in quantum mechanics, discusses the references and meanings of energy—time uncertainty relation in various contexts, and aims to clarify the confusion on the references and the meanings of the uncertainty relation between energy and time.

Heisenberg's uncertainty relation: Violation and reformulation

Masanao Ozawa

The uncertainty relation formulated by Heisenberg in 1927 describes a trade-off between the error of a measurement of one observable and the disturbance caused on another complementary observable so that their product should be no less than a limit set by Planck's constant. In 1980, Braginsky, Vorontsov, and Thorne claimed that this relation leads to a sensitivity limit for gravitational wave detectors. However, in 1988 a model of position measurement was constructed that breaks both this limit and Heisenberg's relation. Here, we discuss the problems as to how we reformulate Heisenberg's relation to be universally valid and how we experimentally quantify the error and the disturbance to refute the old relation and to confirm the new relation.

Time-energy uncertainty does not create particles

Bryan Wilson Roberts, Jeremy Butterfield

Abstract In this contribution in honour of Paul Busch, we criticise the claims of many expositions that the time-energy uncertainty principle allows both a violation of energy conservation and particle creation, provided that this happens for a sufficiently short time. But we agree that there are grains of truth in these claims: which we make precise and justify using perturbation theory.

The Improvement of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

L. M. Arévalo Aguilar, C. P. Garcia Quijas, Carlos Robledo-

One of the fundamental cornerstone of quantum mechanics is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle is so fundamental to quantum theory that it is believed that if a single phenomenon that could violate it is found then the whole building of quantum mechanics will fall apart. However, since the formulation of the uncertainty principle until today there is not clear and universal agreement in its formulation or interpretation. Even Heisenberg was not clear about the exact meaning of p1 and x1 in their first formulation of the uncertainty relations [1]:

Derivation of the Equation e = Mc^2 from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principles

Rodolfo A. Frino

The present paper is concerned with the derivation of the Einstein's formula of equivalence of mass and energy, E = mc^2, from the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. Thus, this paper unifies two of the most important laws of physics as provides the proof of the quantum mechanical nature of the above famous formula.

Revisiting the Derivation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: The Collapse of Uncertainty at the Planck Scale

Espen Gaarder Haug

In this paper, we will revisit the derivation of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. We will see how the Heisenberg principle collapses at the Planck scale by introducing a minor modification. The beauty of our suggested modification is that it does not change the main equations in quantum mechanics; it only gives them a Planck scale limit where uncertainty collapses. We suspect that Einstein could have been right after all, when he stated, ``God does not throw dice." His now-famous saying was an expression of his skepticism towards the concept that quantum randomness could be the ruling force, even at the deepest levels of reality. Here we will explore the quantum realm with a fresh perspective, by re-deriving the Heisenberg principle in relation to the Planck scale. We will show how this idea also leads to an upper boundary on uncertainty, in addition to the lower boundary. These upper and lower boundaries are identical for the Planck mass particle; in fact, they are zero, and this highlights the truly unique nature of the Planck mass particle. Further, there may be a close connection between light and the Planck mass particle: In our model, the standard relativistic energy momentum relation also seems to apply to light, while in modern physics light generally stands outside the standard relativistic momentum energy relation. We will also suggest a new way to look at elementary particles, where mass and time are closely related, consistent with some of the recent work in experimental physics. Our model leads to a new time operator that does not appear to be in conflict with the Pauli objection. This indicates that both mass and momentum come in quanta, which are perfectly correlated to an internal Compton `clock' frequency in elementary particles.
