Let ff be a function in S(R)\mathscr{S}(\mathbf{R}) of norm L2L^2 equal to 1. One has (uncertainty principle) the inequality

(∫x2∣f(x)∣2dx)(∫t2∣f^(t)∣2dt)⩾12 (\int x^2|f(x)|^2dx)(\int t^2|\widehat{f}(t)|^2dt)\geqslant 1_2
RR(4π) _{\mathbf{R}}\mathbf{R}(4\pi )

(note that

−12=R(∫Rxf(x)f′(x)‾dx) -\frac{1}{2}=\mathscr{R}(\int_{\mathbf{R}}xf(x)\overline{f'(x)}dx)

and apply the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality). Determine the cases of equality.
