    Is complimentarity an expression of HUP?

    Novice questions: 1. All complimentarities seems to be an expression of HUP... (for example from some of the quantum eraser experiments such as DCQE) Is that correct? I.e. Complimentarity is NOT a phenomena/mystery that is seperate/different from HUP 2. Can we derive/conclude...

    Can I apply L'Hopital's rule to this integral expression?

    Hi, Suppose I have \lim_{r\to 0} \left\{\int_0^{\pi} \frac{f(r,t)}{r^2}dt - \int_0^{\pi} \frac{g(r,t)}{r} dt\right\} and both integrals tend to infinity. So I combine them: \lim_{r\to 0} \int_0^{\pi} \frac{f(r,t)-r g(r,t)}{r^2} dt now at this point, the numerator in the...
