• Abstract: We present a new geometric formulation of uncertainty relation valid for any quantum measurements of statistical nature. Owing to its simplicity and tangibility, our relation is universally valid and experimentally viable. Although our relation violates the na{\"i}ve non-commutativity bound $\hbar/2$ for the measurement of position and momentum, the spirit of the uncertainty principle still stands strong. Our relation entails, among others, the Ozawa relation as a corollary, and also reduces seamlessly to the standard Kennard-Robertson relation when the measurement is non-informative.

• Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
  Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements. This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance. However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

  We show that disturbance of one measurement to a subsequent measurement sets lower-bounds to uncertainty. The obtained relations, referred to as disturbance enhanced uncertainty relations, immediately find various applications in the field of quantum information. We anticipate that this new twist on uncertainty principle may shed new light on quantum foundations and may also inspire further applications in the field of quantum information.
