A brief review on uncertainty principle and its variants

Manas Protim Saikia

In this paper, using two different formulations, we attempted to first provide an overview of mathematical interpretations of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This was done in order to emphasise the mathematical justification for the uncertainty principle's existence. First, we went over in detail the matrix formulation found in Schrodinger's original paper on uncertainty. Next, we reviewed the mathematical proof of the uncertainty principle in a Fourier series formulation and examined the results. We attempted to provide a comprehensive overview of the modified forms of the uncertainty relation in the Quantum Gravitational, Relativistic, and Entropic domains along with other variants after realizing that the most well-known uncertainty relation is not universal. All of these concepts also demonstrate a great deal of potential for use in the emerging new technologies. Our goal was to gather all of these dispersed variations of the uncertainty principle in one location. The current state of these theories, as well as their applications and limitations, are thoroughly discussed.

Measuring energy, estimating Hamiltonians, and the time-energy uncertainty relation

Yakir Aharonov, Serge Massar, Sandu Popescu

Suppose that the Hamiltonian acting on a quantum system is unknown and one wants to determine which is the Hamiltonian. We show that, in general, this requires a time $\ensuremath{\Delta}t$ that obeys the uncertainty relation $\ensuremath{\Delta}t\ensuremath{\Delta}H\ensuremath{\gtrsim}1,$ where $\ensuremath{\Delta}H$ is a measure of how accurately the unknown Hamiltonian must be estimated. We apply this result to the problem of measuring the energy of an unknown quantum state. It has been previously shown that if the Hamiltonian is known, then the energy can, in principle, be measured with arbitrarily large precision in an arbitrarily short time. On the other hand, we show that if the Hamiltonian is not known then an energy measurement necessarily takes a minimum time $\ensuremath{\Delta}t$ which obeys the uncertainty relation $\ensuremath{\Delta}t\ensuremath{\Delta}E\ensuremath{\gtrsim}1,$ where $\ensuremath{\Delta}E$ is the precision of the energy measurement. Several examples are studied to address the question of whether it is possible to saturate these uncertainty relations. Their interpretation is discussed in detail.

Uncertainty relations: a small zoo of remarkable inequalities discovered since 1927

V. V. Dodonov

A concise review of various mathematical formulations of the uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics discovered since 1927 is given. Besides the traditional Heisenberg inequality, the modifications made by Schrödinger and Robertson, as well as generalizations to sets of several noncommuting operators, are considered. The "entropic" inequalities and "local" uncertainty relations, together with inequalities which connect the so-called total width and the mean peak width of a wave function, are discussed. Inequalities for the products of higher order moments of the coordinate and momentum are presented. Inequalities making the uncertainty relations more accurate when the "purity" of a quantum state is fixed are demonstrated. Diverse formulations of the energy-time uncertainty relations are considered.
