Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: Conjugate Variables And Compressive Sensing

In quantum physics, you can't precisely measure momentum and position simultaneously. They are an example of conjugate variables, connected by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. There are workarounds, such as "weak measurement," to measure both at the same time but a new study says that a technique called compressive sensing also offers a way to measure both variables at the same time, without violating the Uncertainty Principle. read more
