The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
(Δx Δp ≳ ℏ)
• Implies that there really is no such thing as 'a particle is at 𝑥 with momentum 𝑝'
• That is, the more narrow the 𝑥-PDF |Ψ(x)|², the more broad the 𝑝-PDF |Φ(p)|² will become & vice versa (

Ok, i think the confusion comes from particle-wave dualism. I would agree to “there is no particle with position x and momentum p” since a particle is also a wave which has no position.

Right, it’s simply an undefined concept
