• Abstract: First, the study tries to shed light on the relationship between purely quantum mechanical momentum measurements (canonical momentum space) and measurements of the generalized momentum operator, including minimal length effects. Additionally, the existence of complex numbers in quantum mechanics seems justifiable as a consequence of minimal length. Finally, a novel method for generating quantum entangled states with complex quantum numbers inspired by the minimal length is also reported. Therefore, theories including a minimal length, like some quantum scenarios of gravity, seem to be able to enrich the current understanding of non-locality.
