Abstract: The Heisenberg–Robertson (HR) and Robertson–Schrödinger (RS) uncertainty relations are studied. Analyzing the RS uncertainty relation we found, that there can exist a large set of states of the quantum system under considerations, for which the lower bound of the product of the standard deviations of a pair of noncommuting observables, A and B, is zero, and which differ from those described in the literature for the HR uncertainty relation. These states are not eigenstates of either the observable A or B. The correlation function for these observables in such states is equal to zero. We have also shown that the so-called "sum uncertainty relations" also do not provide any information about lower bounds on the standard deviations calculated for these states. We additionally show that the uncertainty principle in its most general form has two faces: One is that it is a lower bound on the product of standard deviations, and the other is that the product of standard deviations is an upper bound on the modulus of the correlation function of a pair of the noncommuting observables in the state under consideration.
