We establish the tightest possible Robertson-type preparation uncertainty relation, which explicitly depends on the eigenvalues of the quantum state. The conventional constant $ \tfrac{1}{4} $ is replaced by a state-dependent coefficient…

We report a universal improvement to the standard Robertson--Schr\"odinger uncertainty relation. Our result shows that the Robertson--Schr\"odinger lower bound can be supplemented by a new noncommutativity-induced term. This term represents…
