Extended uncertainty principle.The generalized uncertainty principle (Equation 3.62) states that

A2B214<C>2

whereC^-i[A^,B^]..

(a) Show that it can be strengthened to read

A2B214(<C>2+<D>2) [3.99]

whereD^A^B^+B^A^-2AB.. Hint: Keep the term in Equation 3.60

(b) Check equation 3.99 for the caseB=A(the standard uncertainty principle is trivial, in this case, sinceC^=0; unfortunately, the extended uncertainty principle doesn't help much either).

Short Answer

(a)A2B214(D2+C2)(b)A2A2A4

Step by step solution

01

Schwarz inequality

Schwarz inequality is |<ab>|2<aa><bb>..

In statistics, the variance is expressed as 鈥渢he average of the square of the difference from the mean鈥. So, for an observable A^we have:A2(A^-<A>)2

02

Solve for z and apply Schwarz inequality

(a)

For an observableA^ the variance can be written as:

A2(A^-A)2

Further solving above equation,

A2=I(A^-A)2=(A^-A)I(A^-A)A2=flf

And for an observable we can write:

B2=蠄滨(B^-B)2=(B-B)I(B^-B)B2=glg

From above two equations of variance,

A2B2=ffgg|fg|2 鈥︹ (1)

Where used Schwarz inequality . For any complex number z=x+iy,we have:

|z|2=[Re(z)]2+[Im(z)]2=12(z+z*)2+12i(z-z*)2(2)

03

Solve for σA2σB2

Letz=fg; thus|fg|2=|z|2. Substitute from (2) into (1) to get (note thatz=fg).

A2B212(z+z*)2+12i(z-z*)2=12fg+gf2+12i(fg-gf)2

Find and , as:

fg=(A^-A)(B^-B)=|(A^-A)(B^-B=|(A^B^-A^B-AB^+AB=A^B^-AB-AB+ABfg=A^B^-AB(4)

For observable .

gf=A^B^-AB(5)

Adding equations (4) and (5) we can write:

fg+gf=A^B^-AB+B^A^-AB=A^B^+B^A^-2AB=D

Subtracting equations and we can write:

fg-gf=A^B^-B^A^=[A^,B^]

Substitute into (3) we get:

A2B214(D2+C2).

Thus, the generalized uncertainty principle can be strengthened to read role="math" localid="1656317038528" A2B214(D2+C2)..

04

Solve for σA2σA2

(b)

For the case of A^=B^the values ofC^&D^ are:

C^=0D^=2(A^2-A2)

Further solving above values of role="math" localid="1656320627569" C^&D^as:

C=0D=2(A^2-A2)=2A2

Substitute into the result of part (a) we get:

A2A2(1/4)4A4=A4A2A2A4

Thus, the is true, but not tell you anything since both sides are equal. Therefore, it is not very informativeA2A2A4
