SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the relationship between expectation values of Fourier conjugates and the Uncertainty Principle. It establishes that while the Fourier Transform (FT) of a Gaussian function remains a Gaussian, the product of their standard deviations (σ) is constant. However, the expectation values of these Fourier conjugates are not directly related, contradicting the initial inquiry about their mathematical relationship.
