Abstract

Heisenberg uncertainty principle suggests that momentum and position of an electron can not be correctly detected simultaneously in an atom. This paper proposes a theory which can be found useful in the simultaneous calculation of the momentum and position of an electron present in the atom.

Harmonic Oscillators, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Simultaneous Measurement Precision for Position and Momentum

Donald Jack Kouri

At the recent QSCP XIX, the author claimed a procedure of using a scaled Fourier transform (the scaling being determined by the detailed interaction and particle mass for a harmonic oscillator) to achieve simultaneous resolution of position and momentum greater than the standard Heisenberg value of 1/2. The procedure is, in fact, invalid for quantum mechanics. The purpose of this paper is simply to give the correct analysis of the uncertainty product, thereby clarifying the error made.

A thought experiment violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

M. C. Robinson

In principle, it is possible to make simultaneous and precise measurements of a particle's velocity using two different methods, which should give identical results. It is shown that these results permit the calculation of the particle's position and momentum with a combined error [Formula: see text] at every instant of time in an arbitrarily large interval. It is also shown that, in the special case considered, the statistical interpretation of the wave function is invalid.

The Atom — The Quantum Mechanical Model

Edward K. Yeargers

The process of observation disturbs the thing being observed and that disturbance might possibly affect other observations. Heisenberg showed that simultaneous measurements of an electron's position and its momentum interfere with each other and thus induce essential uncertainties into those measurements. Quantum mechanics represents the behavior of electrons around nuclei in terms of mathematical constructs called wave functions, or orbitals, which contain all possible information about the electron. The square of the wave function gives the probability of finding the electron in a given region of space. For mathematical reasons, physicists and chemists almost always use the abstract concept of wavefunctions (orbitals), rather than that of electron probability clouds, to describe electrons. The distribution of probability within a probability cloud is not uniform. For some, the greatest probability is near, or even at, the nucleus

Determining Certain Position and Momentum of a Particle from Uncertainty Principle

Muhammad Yasin

This article will show you how to measure the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously from the principle of uncertainty .From the principle of position-momentum uncertainty, the position and momentum of a particle can be determined at the same time by fulfilling the condition of uncertainty by multiplying a constant k with the fixed value of position and momentum. Which is known as the principle of certainty

Heisenberg’s Uncertainties: 1927–

Until Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty principle in 1927, it was an open question whether models for the structure of matter reflected actual reality or were useful fictions for operational purposes. There wasn’t any sense in either case that there might be parameters it was impossible to determine. The uncertainty principle says that it is impossible to determine simultaneously the location and momentum of an electron. While it applies to a specific situation, ‘uncertainty’ is a good description for the entire approach of quantum theory. Schrödinger’s equations show that electrons behave simultaneously as waves and particles. The double-slit experiment, when a beam of light or electrons passes through two parallel slits, shows that the act of observation influences the behavior of the wave–particle duality. The ability of a pair of ‘entangled’ electrons (or other particles) to influence each other instantaneously appears to exceed the speed limit of light. Paradoxes of quantum behavior may even extend to biological situations. Intuition or common sense are no guide to quantum behavior.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the probability and uncertainty of electron linear momentum in with the Heisenberg uncertainty approach. Measurement of the position and momentum of atomic electrons is probabilistic. The probability and uncertainty of electron linear momentum are analysed analytically, and simulations of hydrogenic atoms' normalized radial wave function are performed. they can be viewed as hydrogenic atoms with only one electron orbital. The probability and uncertainty of electron linear momentum in decrease with increasing values of the principal quantum number n ≤ 3. While the uncertainty of the electron position is increasing. The results of this study are in accordance with the characteristics of position and linear momentum that are not commutable. The increase in the value of the main quantum number means that the electron's position against this is getting farther, and the speed in the orbital is getting smaller.
