Modifying the Lower Bound of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation with Special Deformed Boson Algebra

The Heisenberg uncertainty relation, concerning the product of the standard deviations of position and momentum, is studied for a quantum oscillator characterized by deformed boson algebra. Special forms of the deformed number operator are determined such that the ground state and any deformed coherent state of the oscillator under study exhibit minimum uncertainty, as the canonical boson algebra provides, but the product of the corresponding standard deviations is less than the canonical lower bound, ℏ/2. Above all, each standard deviation and, consequently, the uncertainty become arbitrarily small for the ground state, other states of the Fock basis, and deformed coherent states with arbitrarily small magnitude of the label, if the parameters defining the special deformed number operator are properly chosen.
