What are all the known physical conjugate pairs?

Physics Asked on August 26, 2021

According to the uncertainty principle, certain pairs of physical quantities are complementary variables.

Wikipedia has a list:

  • Energy <> Time
  • Linear Momentum <> Position
  • Angular Momentum <> Angular Position
  • Mass-Momentum <> Rapidity
  • Electric Potential <> Electric Charge
  • Magnetic Potential <> Electric Current
  • Electric Field <> Polarization Density
  • Magnetic Induction <> Magnetization
  • Gravitational Potential <> Mass Density

Is this list exhaustive? Are there any other known pairs of incompatible observables?
