Compared with the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, Schrodinger-Robertson uncertain relation generally provides stronger bound on product of uncertainties for two noncommutation observables, so the stricter separability condition can be provided by using Schrodinger-Robertson uncertainty relation. In this paper, using the Schrodinger Robertson uncertainty relation, the separability condition previously proposed by L. M. Duan is improved into the stricter separability condition. Then we extend the above ideas to the general two-mode situation and multi-mode terms, some new separation conditions are obtained.

The existence of incompatible observables constitutes one of the most prominent characteristics of quantum mechanics (QM) and can be revealed and formalized through uncertainty relations. The Heisenberg-Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty relation (HRSUR) was proved at the dawn of quantum formalism and is ever-present in the teaching and research on QM. Notwithstanding, the HRSUR possess the so called triviality problem. That is to say, the HRSUR yields no information about the possible incompatibility between two observables if the system was prepared in a state which is an eigenvector of one of them. After about 85 years of existence of the HRSUR, this problem was solved recently by Lorenzo Maccone and Arun K. Pati. In this article, we start doing a brief discussion of general aspects of the uncertainty principle in QM and recapitulating the proof of HRSUR. Afterwards we present in simple terms the proof of the Maccone-Pati uncertainty relation, which can be obtained basically via the application of the parallelogram law and Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
