@oristarA,

Sigma x [times] sigma p is greater than or equal to h-bar over [or divided by] two.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. H-bar ħ is the reduced Planck constant.

In some applications it is useful to divide the Planck constant by 2π (2 times pi). The resulting constant is called the "reduced Planck constant".
