Our familiar Newtons laws allow determination of both position and velocity of any object precisely. Early nineteenth century saw the birth of quantum mechanics where all measurements must obey Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. Basically, we cannot simultaneously measure with precision, both position and momentum of particles in the microscopic atomic world. A natural extension will be to assume that space becomes fuzzy as we approach the study of early universe. That is, all the components of position cannot be simultaneously measured with precision. Such a space is called non-commutative space. In this article, we study quantum mechanics of hydrogen atom on such a fuzzy space. Particularly, we highlight expected corrections to the hydrogen atom energy spectrum due to non-commutative space.
