uncertainty relations
Uncertainty relations, also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, describe the fundamental limitation in simultaneously measuring certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, or energy and time, with high precision. It states that the more accurately one tries to measure one property, the less accurately the conjugate property can be known. Therefore, there will always be an inherent uncertainty in the simultaneous measurement of certain pairs of physical quantities.
