? connection between uncertainty and wave-particle duality

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the connection between uncertainty and wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics, emphasizing how these concepts relate to the information obtainable about a system. Participants express interest in understanding the merging of these theories, particularly in a simplified manner suitable for beginners. The conversation references a 2014 World Science Festival highlight that addresses the ongoing debates and lack of unification in quantum physics. Links to additional resources are provided for further exploration of the topic. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify complex quantum concepts for those new to the field.

After reading these recent articles on proof of the theory that merges the "duality" of .. " The connection between uncertainty and wave-particle duality comes out very naturally when you consider them as questions about what information you can gain about a system"

Can someone point me to a more detailed explanation of this idea? I'm very interested to understand the merge? I'm a first year physics student so a little simpler the better for me.

I had recently watched the 2014 world science festival highlight the topic, specifically the lack of unification and the debate of competing ideas.

Many Thanks.

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
