Mathematics Behind the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Dewi Wulandari · Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan IPA · 2023
Most physics books do not reveal clearly how the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was derived. This uncertainty comes from the consequence of the wave-particle duality of matter giving statement that position and momentum cannot be measured in the same time. This article tries to reveal mathematics background behind the expression the Heisenberg uncertainty using supported mathematics background such as Fourier transform, Fourier transform integral, the probability of Gaussian distribution and it ends up with the expression of wave function which describe the localized particle giving relation Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
