Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Linked via "Schrödinger equation"
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927, is a fundamental tenet of quantum mechanics. It imposes a constraint on the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a quantum system, known as complementary variables, can be simultaneously determined. This limitation is not due to imperfections in measuring instruments, but rather an intrinsic property of the quantum state itself, rooted in the wave-like natu…

Quantum Superposition
Linked via "Schrödinger equation"
Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that describes the ability of a quantum system to exist in multiple distinct quantum states concurrently until it is measured. This contrasts sharply with classical mechanics, where an object must occupy a single, definite state at any given time. The formal mathematical description of superposition is rooted in the linear nature of the Schrödinger equation.
