Quadratic-norm proof of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation

ID: quadratic-norm-proof-of-the-heisenberg-uncertainty-relation

For an admissible quantum state with zero position and momentum means, positivity of the squared norm for every real gives
The discriminant is nonpositive, hence . Subtracting the expectation values from the position operator and momentum operator extends this outline to nonzero means.
