Sharpness and uniqueness conjecture for the average confidence-width uncertainty constant
Sharpness and uniqueness conjecture for the average confidence-width uncertainty constant
Let ) and be the canonical position and momentum operators, and let be the ground-state energy of the self-adjoint operator , namely
The optimal constant is defined by the uncertainty relation in the paper's equation. Sharpness and uniqueness conjecture. The optimal constant is
and it is attained uniquely, up to dilation, translation, and phase, by the ground state of ; numerically, . The conjecture would close the numerical gap between the lower bound and the upper bound ; establishing it, for example through a Fourier rearrangement inequality controlling through , is identified as the main open problem.
