Two short stories on mathematical uncertainty principle

The uncertainty principle says that a function and its Fourier transform can not be well-localized simultaneously. We will first discuss a version of this statement for a collection of functions forming a basis for $L^2$ space. Then we will connect Hardy's uncertainty principle to the behavior of Schrodinger evolution and if time permits give a simple proof of the Hardy's result.
