Electron in strong magnetic field

If you apply a very strong magnetic field, its position will be in average constant with little deviation (motion is very small circles) but that says nothing about its momentum, because it may be rot …

Is information lost in the Heisenberg's uncertainty?

You can't "set" a particle at both a known momentum and a known position. In your classical wave analogy, that would mean creating a wave at precise time and frequency. That's not a technical imposs …
