Key Points

  • The review covers various mathematical formulations of uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics.
  • Key focus is on inequalities pertaining to products of higher-order moments of coordinate and momentum.
  • Special attention is given to incorporating additional information to refine uncertainty relations.
  • Detailed discussions include cases with two, three, and four operators, enhancing understanding of these relations.

Abstract

A brief review of various existing mathematical formulations of the uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics, containing variances of two or more non-commuting operators, is given. In particular, inequalities for the products of higher-order moments of a coordinate and a momentum are considered, as well as inequalities making the uncertainty relations more accurate when additional information about a quantum system is available (for example, the correlation coefficient or the degree of mixing of a quantum state characterized by the trace of the squared statistical operator). The special cases of two, three, and four operators are discussed in detail.
