- Momentum uncertainty isn't identical for position and Hamiltonian.
Consider a particle in an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian when the particle is in a 1D box with very large length ## L##. The operators ##\hat{x}##, ##\hat{p}## and ##\hat{H}## don't commute together. If we consider the uncertainty for Hamiltonian and momentum, then we have ##\Delta p→\infty## but if we take uncertainty between momentum and position we have ##\Delta p→0##. I would be grateful if help me what is wrong here?
