Sum uncertainty relations for arbitrary $N$ incompatible observables

Quantum Physics 2015-09-24 v1

Abstract

We formulate uncertainty relations for arbitrary NN observables. Two uncertainty inequalities are presented in terms of the sum of variances and standard deviations, respectively. The lower bounds of the corresponding sum uncertainty relations are explicitly derived. These bounds are shown to be tighter than the ones such as derived from the uncertainty inequality for two observables [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 260401 (2014)]. Detailed examples are presented to compare among our results with some existing ones.
