Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and Particle Trajectories

چکیده
Abstract In this paper we critically analyse W. Heisenberg’s arguments against the ontology of point particles following trajectories in quantum theory, presented his famous 1927 and Chicago lectures (1929). Along way, will clarify meaning uncertainty relation help resolve some confusions related to it.

First we show explicitly how uncertainty can arise in a trajectory representation. Then we show that the formal utilization of the WKB like hierarchy structure of dKdV in the description of (X,ψ) duality does not encounter norm constraints. 1. BACKGROUND In a previous paper [4] (working with stationary states and ψ satisfying the Schrödinger equation (SE) (A0) − (~2/2m)ψ′′+V ψ = Eψ) we suggeste...
متن کاملUncertainty in Spatial Trajectories
This chapter presents a systematic overview of the various issues and solutions related to the notion of uncertainty in the settings of moving objects trajectories. The sources of uncertainty in this context are plentiful: from the mere fact that the positioning devices are inherently imprecise, to the pragmatic aspect that, although the objects are moving continuously, location-based servers c...
متن کاملGerbes and Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
We prove that a gerbe with a connection can be defined on classical phase space, taking the U(1)–valued phase of Feynman path integrals as Čech 2–cocycles. A quantisation condition on the corresponding 3–form field strength is derived and proved to be equivalent to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.
متن کاملUncertainty Principle and Compatible Observables
As we know, observables are associated to Hermitian operators. Given one such operator A we can use it to measure some property of the physical system, as represented by a state Ψ. If the state is in an eigenstate of the operator A, we have no uncertainty in the value of the observable, which coincides with the eigenvalue corresponding to the eigenstate. We only have uncertainty in the value of...
متن کاملGeneralized Uncertainty Principle and Quantum
In the present work the role that a generalized uncertainty principle could play in the quantization of the electromagnetic field is analyzed. It will be shown that we may speak of a Fock space, a result that implies that the concept of photon is properly defined. Nevertheless, in this new context the creation and annihilation operators become a function of the new term that modifies the Heisen...
