“They found that ‘wave-particle duality’ is simply the quantum ‘uncertainty principle’ in disguise”

That was my understanding from college, decades ago. I suppose they formalized the connection.

Why do I think you were voted in high school "Most likely to clear out a party"???

Just kidding, I will send this to my son who loves physics and was voted "most likely"...

Joe Biden knew all that years ago!

It was either that, or something else, or both at the same time.

[Cyman]

I always thought they were!

Yes:

It’s possible to write equations that capture how much can be learned about pairs of properties that are affected by the uncertainty principle. Coles, Kaniewski and Wehner are experts in a form of such equations known as ‘entropic uncertainty relations’, and they discovered that all the maths previously used to describe wave-particle duality could be reformulated in terms of these relations.

Why don’t they just answer both questions rather than dink around with the semantics?

Could this be why, in a previous article, we could not tell a girl from a boy? The uncertainty principle! That is my story and science will let me stick to it. Yea....

Yes, this reads like physics history. I recommend INTRODUCING QUANTUM THEORY, one of a series of INTRODUCING ... books ( there's a lot of them! ) and I think they're all pretty good, but I have a real affection for IQT. All these are in a sort of comic book format, sort of a coloring book, with black printing on stiff paper. But it is by no means "dumbed down" ... far from it! Terse, but not sketchy, it follows the year by year developments and the thinking of the personalities. I gained a lot of perspective and new insight from this book. It is worth study!

Anyway, the thinking of Our Heroes on the issue of wave/particle duality and uncertainty is given close scrutiny.

Can you name the "Big 9" on the cover ?
