Two types of uncertainty relation 

Indeterminacy --- property of quantum states --Trade-off relation on state preparation Non-commutable observables cannot have definite value simultaneously. 

Schrodinger’s inequality (1930)

: symmetrized quantum corelation function 3

Two types of uncertainty relation 

Complementarity --- property of measurements (operations) --Trade-off relation between measurement errors We cannot perform measurement without back-action. We cannot perform precise measurement of non-commutable observables simultaneously.
