Study Notes
- The uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to predict the value of a quantity with arbitrary certainty, even if all initial conditions are specified.
- The uncertainty principle is inherent in the properties of all wave-like systems, and arises in quantum mechanics simply due to the matter wave nature of all quantum objects.
- Certain experiments, however, may deliberately test a particular form of the uncertainty principle as part of their main research program.
