I have a question about the HUP. As I understand the HUP, it only applies to conjugate attributes that do not commute, such as position and momentum. However, many good quantum numbers do commute, so does this mean that the HUP does not apply to simultaneous measurement of such good quantum numbers ?
Also, for the hydrogen atom, is it not true that the total energy Hamiltonian, and angular momentum commute, thus the HUP would not apply to their simultaneous measurement ?
