Abstract
We formulate a general complementarity relation starting from any Hermitian operator with discrete nondegenerate eigenvalues. We then elucidate the relationship between quantum complementarity and the Heisenberg-Robertson uncertainty relation. We show that they are intimately connected. Finally we exemplify the general theory with some specific suggested experiments.
