| Feb 25, 2013 at 21:36 | comment | added | JKL | @71GA Thank you for your notes. I don't think the square rooting should make any difference to the form of the uncertainty principle, since it is only itroducing a scale factor of 1/2. Not sure why should one prefer to go through the square root though. | |
