Abstract

In this paper we prove some uncertainty bounds for commutators and anti-commutators of observables in a CC^*-algebra. We give a short, elementary proof of Robertson's Standard Uncertaity Principle in this setting. We also prove some other uncertainty relations for which the lower bound doesn't vanish for any number of observables.
