In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that the position and speed of an object cannot both be known fully precisely at the same time. Researchers now show that two ...

Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the construction of admissible, physics-consistent and identifiable stochastic models for uncertainty quantification. We first consider a continuum mechanics setting ...

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a particle with infinite precision. In our everyday lives we virtually never ...

Physicist Palmer delivers a challenging but rewarding look at how uncertainty helps scientists make sense of the world. Much of the work draws on “the science of chaos,” which Palmer writes has ...

Physicists have measured both the momentum and position of a particle without breaking Heisenberg’s iconic uncertainty principle. In quantum mechanics, particles don’t have fixed properties the way ...
