Uncertainty Relations
In this chapter, we show how uncertainty relations arise naturally from quantum theory for position and momentum, time and energy, and so on. We explore the meaning of these relations and apply them to the quantum mechanical description of the pendulum. F

A First Introduction to Quantum Physics
Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics
Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics (ULNP) publishes authoritative texts covering topics throughout pure and applied physics. Each title in the series is suitable as a basis for undergraduate instruction, typically containing practice problems, worked examples, chapter summaries, and suggestions for further reading. ULNP titles must provide at least one of the following:
• An exceptionally clear and concise treatment of a standard undergraduate subject. • A solid undergraduate-level introduction to a graduate, advanced, or non-standard subject. • A novel perspective or an unusual approach to teaching a subject. ULNP especially encourages new, original, and idiosyncratic approaches to physics teaching at the undergraduate level. The purpose of ULNP is to provide intriguing, absorbing books that will continue to be the reader’s preferred reference throughout their academic career.
