Hi, just wondering whether the commutation relation [tex][\phi,L_3]=i\hbar[/tex] holds and similar uncertainty relation such as involving X and Px can be derived ?

thanks

testing that commutator is simple, since [tex]L_z \sim \frac{d}{d\phi}[/tex], let the commutator act on a function [tex]F(r,\phi,\theta)[/tex] and then you\ll have it.

The same thing for [x,P_x]
