The uncertainty relation for joint measurement of position and momentum
read the original abstract
We prove an uncertainty relation, which imposes a bound on any joint measurement of position and momentum. It is of the form $(\Delta P)(\Delta Q)\geq C\hbar$, where the `uncertainties' quantify the difference between the marginals of the joint measurement and the corresponding ideal observable. Applied to an approximate position measurement followed by a momentum measurement, the uncertainties become the precision $\Delta Q$ of the position measurement, and the perturbation $\Delta P$ of the conjugate variable introduced by such a measurement. We also determine the best constant $C$, which is attained for a unique phase space covariant measurement.

The uncertainty geometry of finite-dimensional position and momentum
Covariance matrices for finite-dimensional DFT-related position-momentum pairs are fully characterized via unitary invariants, convex geometry, and SDP, yielding extremal states and application bounds.
