We elaborate on Lavine's time-energy uncertainty principle and give an estimate on the sojourn time. The bound involves Fermi's Golden Rule for the case of perturbed embedded eigenstates. Only very mild regularity is required. We illustrate the theory by applications to resonances for time dependent- and multistate systems .", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-23T18:31:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energy-time uncertainty principle", "lower bounds", "lavines time-energy uncertainty principle", "large sojourn time", "fermis golden rule" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
