Comparison of Classical and Quantum Mechanical Uncertainties.
Peslak, John, Jr.
American Journal of Physics, v47 n1 p39-45 Jan 1979
Comparisons are made for the particle-in-a-box, the harmonic oscillator, and the one-electron atom. A classical uncertainty principle is derived and compared with its quantum-mechanical counterpart. The results are discussed in terms of the statistical interpretation of the uncertainty principle. (Author/BB)
