Uncertainty in Quantum Measurements
Abstract
The object of this Letter is to show that except in the case of canonically conjugate observables, the generalized Heisenberg inequality does not properly express the quantum uncertainty principle. It is, in general, too weak. An inequality is obtained which does express the principle.
