Uncertainty principle##\Delta H\Delta Q##, where Q is time-independent

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, specifically the relationship between the Hamiltonian operator (H) and a time-independent operator (Q). It establishes that since Q is time-independent, the commutation relation ##[H,Q]=0## leads to the conclusion that ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge 0##. However, the correct interpretation involves evaluating the time derivative of the expectation value of Q, resulting in the inequality ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge |\frac{ħ}{2} \frac{d}{dt}|##. The error arises from incorrectly equating the Hamiltonian with the time derivative, neglecting the distinctions between Hamiltonians of different systems.

TL;DR
Why is ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge |\frac{ħ}{2}##d<Q>/dt##|##
Let Q be a time-independent operator.
##[H,Q] = iħ[\frac{d}{dt},Q]##
Since Q is time-independent, ##[H,Q]=0##

And from the uncertainty principle :
##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge |<\Psi|\frac{1}{2i}[H,Q]|\Psi>|##
From ##[H,Q] = 0##, I concluded that ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge 0##

But by evaluating d<Q>/dt, it can be found that ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge |\frac{ħ}{2}##d<Q>/dt##|##

I know that the right answer is the latter, but I just want to know why ##\Delta H\Delta Q \ge 0## is wrong.

You go wrong when you equate the Hamiltonian with the time derivative. Your identification implies there is no difference between the Hamiltonians describing different systems or the time-evolution of the wavefunctions for those systems.
