The Uncertainty Relation Between Energy and Time in Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics

  • Chapter

Abstract

An uncertainty relation between energy and time having a simple physical meaning is rigorously deduced from the principles of quantum mechanics. Some examples of its application are discussed.

Keywords

  • Uncertainty Relation
  • Dynamical Quantity
  • Schroedinger Equation
  • Pure Case
  • Proper Energy

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

The manuscript of this paper was almost completely prepared for publication when Prof. Mandelstam suddenly died on November the 27th, 1944.
