Heisenberg uncertainty relation for position and momentum beyond central potentials
Heisenberg uncertainty relation for position and momentum beyond central potentials
Recently, S\'anchez-Moreno et al. [New J. Phys. 8, 330 (2006)] have shown that the three-dimensional Heisenberg uncertainty relation ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{r}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{p}\ensuremath{\ge}3\ensuremath{\hbar}/2$ might be significantly sharpened if the relevant quantum state describes the particle in a central potential. I extend that result to the case of states which are not the eigenstates of …
