• Abstract: A universal formulation of the quantum uncertainty regarding quantum indeterminacy, quantum measurement, and its inevitable observer effect is presented with additional focus on the representability of quantum observables over a given state. The operational tangibility of the framework assures that the resultant general relations admit natural operational interpretations and characterisations, and thereby perhaps most importantly, their experimental verifiability. In view of the universal formulation, Heisenberg's original philosophy of the uncertainty principle, most typically exemplified in his famous gamma-ray microscope Gedankenexperiment, is revisited; it is reformulated and restated as a refined no-go theorem, albeit perhaps in a weaker form than was originally intended. The relations entail, in essence as corollaries to their special cases, several previously known relations, including most notably the standard Kennard-Robertson relation, the Arthurs-Kelly-Goodman relations for joint measurement as well as the Ozawa and the Watanabe-Sagawa-Ueda relations for error and error-disturbance.

  We demonstrate the uncertainty relations in two-qubit systems involving three physical components with the tight constant $2/sqrt3$. Our results provide a new insight into understanding the uncertainty relations with multiple observables and may motivate more innovative applications in quantum information science.

• 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.

• What is nonclassical about uncertainty relations? [0.0]
  Uncertainty relations express limits on the extent to which the outcomes of distinct measurements on a single state can be made jointly predictable. We show that for a class of theories satisfying a particular symmetry property, the functional form of this predictability tradeoff is constrained by noncontextuality to be below a linear curve.

This approach can lay the foundations of identifying originators of malicious activity on future multi-node quantum networks.

• Metrological complementarity reveals the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox [0.0]
  The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox plays a fundamental role in our understanding of quantum mechanics. It is associated with the possibility of predicting the results of non-commuting measurements with a precision that seems to violate the uncertainty principle. This apparent contradiction to complementarity is made possible by nonclassical correlations stronger than entanglement, called steering.
