Why is harmonic oscillator h ( function of r = r(x) ) can be directly added into Hamilton system H ? )
energy of the quantum harmonic oscillator must be at least
Taking the lower limit from the uncertainty principle
Then the energy expressed in terms of the position uncertainty can be written
Minimizing this energy by taking the derivative with respect to the position uncertainty and setting it equal to zero gives
Solving for the position uncertainty gives
Substituting gives the minimum value of energy allowed.
