We analyze general uncertainty relations and we show that there can exist such pairs of non--commuting observables $A$ and $B$ and such vectors that the lower bound for the product of standard deviations $Delta A$ and $Delta B$ calculated for these vectors is zero: $Delta A,cdot,Delta B geq 0$. We show also that for some pairs of non--commuting observables the sets of vectors for which $Delta A,cdot,Delta B geq 0$ can be complete (total). The Heisenberg, $Delta t ,cdot, Delta E geq hbar/2$, and Mandelstam--Tamm (MT), $ tau_{A},cdot ,Delta E geq hbar/2$, time--energy uncertainty relations ($tau_{A}$ is the characteristic time for the observable $A$) are analyzed too. We show that the interpretation $tau_{A} = infty$ for eigenvectors of a Hamiltonian $H$ does not follow from the rigorous analysis of MT relation. We show also that contrary to the position--momentum uncertainty relation, the validity of the MT relation is limited: It does not hold on complete sets of eigenvectors of $A$ and $H$.

Various theories that aim at unifying gravity with quantum mechanics suggest modifications of the Heisenberg algebra for position and momentum. From the perspective of quantum mechanics, such modifications lead to new uncertainty relations which are
thought (but not proven) to imply the existence of a minimal observable length. Here we prove this statement in a framework of sufficient physical and structural assumptions. Moreover, we present a general method that allows to formulate optimal and state-independent variance-based uncertainty relations. In addition, instead of variances, we make use of entropies as a measure of uncertainty and provide uncertainty relations in terms of min- and Shannon entropies. We compute the corresponding entropic minimal lengths and find that the minimal length in terms of min-entropy is exactly one bit.
The non-zero value of Planck constant $hbar$ underlies the emergence of several inequalities that must be satisfied in the quantum realm, the most prominent one being the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Among these inequalities, the Bekenstein boun
d provides a universal limit on the entropy that can be contained in a localized quantum system of given size and total energy. In this letter, we explore how the Bekenstein bound is affected when the Heisenberg uncertainty relation is deformed so as to accommodate gravitational effects at the Planck scale (Generalized Uncertainty Principle). By resorting to very general arguments, we derive in this way a generalized Bekenstein bound. Physical implications of this result are discussed for both cases of positive and negative values of the deformation parameter.
Analyzing general uncertainty relations one can find that there can exist such pairs of non-commuting observables $A$ and $B$ and such vectors that the lower bound for the product of standard deviations $Delta A$ and $Delta B$ calculated for these ve
ctors is zero: $Delta A,cdot,Delta B geq 0$. Here we discuss examples of such cases and some other inconsistencies which can be found performing a rigorous analysis of the uncertainty relations in some special cases. As an illustration of such cases matrices $(2times 2)$ and $(3 times 3)$ and the position--momentum uncertainty relation for a quantum particle in the box are considered. The status of the uncertainty relation in $cal PT$--symmetric quantum theory and the problems associated with it are also studied.
Measurement uncertainty relations are quantitative bounds on the errors in an approximate joint measurement of two observables. They can be seen as a generalization of the error/disturbance tradeoff first discussed heuristically by Heisenberg. Here w
e prove such relations for the case of two canonically conjugate observables like position and momentum, and establish a close connection with the more familiar preparation uncertainty relations constraining the sharpness of the distributions of the two observables in the same state. Both sets of relations are generalized to means of order $alpha$ rather than the usual quadratic means, and we show that the optimal constants are the same for preparation and for measurement uncertainty. The constants are determined numerically and compared with some bounds in the literature. In both cases the near-saturation of the inequalities entails that the state (resp. observable) is uniformly close to a minimizing one.
New uncertainty relations for n observables are established. The relations take the invariant form of inequalities between the characteristic coefficients of order r, r = 1,2,...,n, of the uncertainty matrix and the matrix of mean commutators of the
observables. It is shown that the second and the third order characteristic inequalities for the three generators of SU(1,1) and SU(2) are minimized in the corresponding group-related coherent states with maximal symmetry.
