Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Quantum Mechanics

The video tutorial explains the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that one cannot know both a particle's position and momentum perfectly. It introduces the concept of wavefunctions, which predict where particles are likely to be found. The tutorial discusses how uncertainty is calculated using standard deviation and how it applies to both position and momentum. It highlights the interconnectedness of position and momentum wavefunctions and the implications of measuring one after the other. The video concludes by emphasizing the special relationship between these wavefunctions and hints at further exploration in supplementary episodes.
