hi pf, i am so confused with this energy time uncertainty principle. Somewhere i find that this means law of conservation of energy can be violated for a while and somewhere i find this still being a mystery? please help me out.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is no violation and there are numerous threads on this subject. Do a bit of a search.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
