Abstract

Non-commutative quantum mechanics is an active field of research in which the operators corresponding to different spatial dimensions are assumed to not commute, as a consequence of quantization of spacetime. This field is important because it investigates the relationships between fundamental physical ideas such as space, time, momentum, and position on very small scales and will provide the basis for experiments probing these small scales in the future.
