It is tempting to define a plane as a surface with zero curvature (or something like that). However, this is not a good idea, since the notions of surface and curvature are much more complicated than the notion of plane.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle for a particle does not allow a state in which the particle is simultaneously at a definite location and has also a definite momentum. Instead the particle has a range of momentum and spread in location attributable to quantum fluctuations.

An uncertainty principle applies to most of quantum mechanical operators that do not commute (specifically, to every pair of operators whose commutator is a non-zero scalar operator).
