The core theory establishes that quantum mechanical observables corresponding to physical quantities like position and momentum are represented by linear operators that act upon a system's state vector (wave function). A fundamental theorem derived from this formalism is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which arises because non-commuting Hermitian operators—specifically those representing position ($\hat{x}$) and momentum ($\hat{p} = -i\hbar \frac{\partial}{\partial x}$)—lack common eigenvectors. Consequently, it is theoretically impossible to simultaneously assign definite values to both observables for a single quantum state, as the commutator of these operators yields a non-zero constant rather than zero.
