Abstract
As we have seen, in the quantum region there are no states in which the momentum and co-ordinate of particles have definite values simultaneously. This fact is reflected in the formalism of the theory: the mathematical treatment of quantum mechanics is quite different from that of classical mechanics, in which the specification of the pair of quantities p, x is entirely meaningful.
