Heisenberg proof of the Balian-Low theorem Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We give an alternate proof of the fact that a function generating a basis of coherent states must have an infinitely long tail in either position space or momentum space. Our argument is a very natural one in which the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle enters directly. 1988 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
