uncertainty principlea standard which it is impossible to gauge correctly on both the placement and the momentum of a particle at a particular point in time. It stems from the fact that the act of gauging will itself impe [..]

uncertainty principle(Heisenberg's) A necessary consequence of the quantum mechanical description of matter. Unlike in classical mechanics where the position of a large object in time and space (including its speed) can exactly be described and predicted based on measurements (Newton's laws of gravity, actio and reactio), the position and speed of individual [..]

uncertainty principleThe quantum principle, first formulated by Heisenberg, that states that it is not possible to know exactly both the position x and the momentum p of an object at the same time. x p . It can be writt [..]

uncertainty principleA principle, central to quantum mechanics, which states that two complementary parameters (such as position and momentum, energy and time, or angular momentum and angular displacement) cannot both be known to infinite accuracy; the more you know about one, the less you know about the other. It can be illustrated in a fairly clear way as it re [..]

uncertainty principleStates that one cannot simultaneously know both the position and the momentum of a given object to arbitrary precision. It furthermore precisely quantifies the imprecision. It is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics and was discovered by Werner Heisenberg in 1927. [more]

uncertainty principlePrinciple which states that there is a fundamental limit to the precision with which it is possible to measure pairs of ‘conjugate’ observables, such as position and momentum, or energy and time. The [..]
