SummaryThe uncertainty relation between the orbital angular momentum componentLz and the corresponding angleϕ is discussed. The uncertainty for an angle variable is defined. The formula ΔLz·Δϕ⩾1/2ħ, which is sometimes quoted, is shown to be incorrect, and an alternative relation, in full accord with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, is derived.RiassuntoSi discute la relazione di indeterminazione fra la componenteLz del momento angolare orbitale ed il corrispondente angoloϕ. Si definisce l…

The rate of Schwinger pair production due to an external electric field can be derived heuristically from the uncertainty principle. In the presence of a cosmological constant, it has been argued in…

Gauge field, parity and uncertainty relation of quantum mechanics on S1

We consider the uncertainty relation between position and momentum of a particle on S 1 (a circle). Since S 1 is compact, the uncertainty of position must be bounded. Consideration on the uncertainty…
