Abstract

This Chapter discusses the consequences of the basic quantum laws on “wave-like” phenomena and quantum uncertainties. The uncertainty relations are generally attributed to Heisenberg. Heisenberg’s justification, however, based on necessary disturbances introduced by the measuring process , will turn out to be erroneous . Bohr’s “Complementarity principle”, postulating “particle-wave duality”, completes the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. Particle-wave duality will be shown to be a mathematical artifact without physical significance.
