Apr 2, 2022 at 6:12 comment added Arian Can we know momentum and position simultaneously according to uncertainty principle? if not, how we talk about c-number functions on phase space? and why do we need to restrict ourselves to expectation values from theoretical point of view ?
Apr 1, 2022 at 22:56 comment added Cosmas Zachos " in order to be good and a well defined function on our phase space, we should know 𝑥 and 𝑝 of the particle simultaneously, which is not acceptable from the uncertainty principle". Where did this absurdity come from? The c-number function is well specified, and so is the Wigner distribution. It is only expectation values for "knowing" quantities that are restricted by the uncertainty principle in this formulation. In fact, If you read on, you'd see Wigner functions are very restricted, precisely so as to satisfy this uncertainty principle. Ontology?
