Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Short Description of Topic

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle (named after Werner Heisenberg) is a concept that describes uncertainty relationships between a particle's different properties, those being position and momentum, as well as energy and time. The biggest takeaway from this concept is that there is always some measure of uncertainty in at least one of any given particle's properties.

A Mathematical Model

What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
