• Abstract: The Heisenberg position-momentum uncertainty relation is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. However, its standard formulation is not fully consistent with special relativity. While partial understanding has been achieved in the ultra-relativistic regime, a comprehensive description is still lacking, particularly in the intermediate velocity domain, where particle speeds remain well below the speed of light yet relativistic corrections are expected to become appreciable. This regime constitutes the most promising arena for experimentally probing relativistic modifications of quantum uncertainty. By adopting a variational approach, in this work we derive a relativistic extension of the Heisenberg algebra within the framework of $κ$-deformed Kaniadakis statistics. The latter emerges from the application of the Maximum Entropy Principle to Kaniadakis entropy, a one-parameter generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy naturally induced by Lorentz transformations. We investigate the physical implications of the resulting uncertainty relation, deriving constraints on the Kaniadakis parameter from precision measurements of the fine-structure constant and confronting our construction with other extensions discussed in the recent literature.

• Theory and phenomenology of relativistic corrections to the Heisenberg principle [0.0]
  Heisenberg position-momentum uncertainty principle is inconsistent with special relativity. We show that the only operative notion of position of a particle at a given time involves the crossing of the worldline of that particle with the worldline of a test particle. We find that the worldline-crossing perspective opens a path toward a special-relativistic version of the uncertainty principle.
