Time-energy uncertainty does not create particles
Journal of Physics 1638:012005 (2020)
Abstract
In this contribution in honour of Paul Busch, we criticise the claims of many expositions that the time-energy uncertainty principle allows both a violation of energy conservation and particle creation, provided that this happens for a sufficiently short time. But we agree that there are grains of truth in these claims: which we make precise and justify using perturbation theory.Author Profiles
