Description

Generalized uncertainty relations are the epitome of bridging quantum theory and the general theory of relativity, which, in principle should lead to the elusive consistent theory of quantum gravity. We show that such generalized uncertainty relations also emerge from the functional integral formalism in the context of non-relativistic quantum field theories. Derivation of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics serves as a guiding example. This idea is expanded to a non-relativistic quantum field theory. It can be used to provide phenomenological predictions for quantum gravity tests in condensed matter systems. As an example, Bose-Einstein condensates are considered.
