Heisenberg: a physical account of uncertainty

Examines limits on descriptions of position and momentum in quantum kinematics and explains uncertainty through thought experiments.

What is recorded here?

Examines limits on descriptions of position and momentum in quantum kinematics and explains uncertainty through thought experiments.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Historical measurement heuristics, the precise Kennard–Robertson variance inequalities and modern measurement-error relations are different statements. The latter two are not attributed as theorems of this paper.
