We consider a space with noncommutativity of coordinates and momenta with preserved time-reversal and rotational symmetries [1]. The noncommutative algebra is constructed by generalizing the parameters of coordinate and momentum noncommutativity to tensors, defined with the help of additional coordinates and momenta. They are governed by a rotationally invariant system. The resulting algebra is equivalent to a canonical-type noncommutative algebra and does not violate rotational or time-reversal symmetries [1].

We examine one- and many-particle systems in this space, including free particles, systems of harmonic oscillators, and exotic atoms. We derive corrections to the energy levels of these systems caused by space quantization [2]. Additionally, we discuss the problem of describing the motion of a macroscopic body in such a space. We propose conditions on the parameters of the noncommutative algebra that provide a resolution to the soccer-ball problem in noncommutative space.
Motion of a particle and a macroscopic body in gravitational field is examined in the noncommutative phase space. The problem of the violation of the weak equivalence principle is discussed [3,4]. On the basis of comparison of the results of theoretical studies with the experimental ones the upper bound on the minimal length and the minimal momentum are found [1].
