The certainty principle I

Abstract

The notion of the quantum angle is introduced. The quantum angle turns out to be a metric on the set of physical states of a quantum system. Its kinematics and dynamics are studied. The certainty principle for quantum systems is formulated and proved. It turns out that the certainty principle is closely connected with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (it presents, in some sense, an opposite point of view). But at the same time the certainty principle allows to give rigorous formulations for wider class of problems (it allows to rigorously interpret and ground the analogous inequalities for the pairs of quantities like time - energy, angle - angular momentum etc.).
