Uncertainty is the fundamental limitation on how precisely certain pairs of physical quantities can be known simultaneously.
Uncertainty limits the precision of measurements.
Description
Uncertainty arises from the nature of quantum systems and limits the precision of measurement outcomes.
Properties
- limits measurement precision
- intrinsic to quantum systems
- affects observable quantities
