John I was aware that postion/mometum & Energy/time & angular momentum/ angle
were all conjugates ( noncommuting variables) but I was not aware that this
applied for charge and flux though since Quantum mechanics rules supreme in
physics it should not be too surprising. This suggest that one could set up
an eigen function for these terms that should look like:

- i*hbar*(d/dphi [Y>)=Q*[Y> where d/dphi is the differential operator, [Y>
is the probability amplitude vector (Eigenvector) and Q (Eigenvalue) is the
charge. Does this make any sense? Of course it does for the all the
conjugates I mentioned above. This would provide a Hilbert space model for
charge. I have never seen this in my QM text books. This is very interesting.
