(color online) The uncertainty relation for observables Lx and Ly at state |Ψ⟩: the blue curve is the lower bound in inequality (4) with the weight λ = 1/10, the red one is with the weight λ = 9/10, the black one stands for Mondal–Bagchi–Patis’ lower bound in inequality (14), and the green line denotes Schrödinger’ lower bound in inequality (3). As observed from the plot, the bound given by inequality (4) is one of the tightest bounds in the literature.
