On the relation between momentum uncertainty and thermal wavelength (2407.06715v1)
Published 9 Jul 2024 in quant-ph and cond-mat.stat-mech
Abstract: For quantum particles in a Boltzmann state, we derive an inequality between momentum uncertainty $\Delta p$ and thermal de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{\rm th}$, expressed as $\Delta p \geq \sqrt{2\pi}\hbar/\lambda_{\rm th}$, as a corollary of the Boltzmann lower bound for the Heisenberg uncertainty product proposed in the previous work [EPL, 143, 20001 (2023)]
