Heisenberg and Schrödinger uncertainty principles give lower bounds for the product of variances Var ͑A͒Var ͑B͒ if the observables A , B are not compatible, namely, if the commutator ͓A , B͔ is not zero. In this paper, we prove an uncertainty principle in Schrödinger form where the bound for the product of variances Var ͑A͒Var ͑B͒ depends on the area spanned by the commutators i͓ , A͔ and i͓ , B͔ with respect to an arbitrary quantum version of the Fisher information.
