The full article, Journal of Physics A 42, 415302 (2009), can also be obtained at the arXiv, http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.3530. Phase space A major difference between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics is that it is impossible to precisely know both position and momentum of a quantum particle. This is expressed through Heisenberg's famous uncertainty relation Δq Δp ≥ ℏ, with Δq and Δp the...
