These constraints are presented in a canonically invariant form which is both concise and explicit. Since the conventional uncertainty principle is such a constraint on the first and second moments, our result constitutes a generalization of the same to all orders. Possible application in quantum state reconstruction using optical homodyne tomography is noted.REVTex, no figures, 9 pagesQuantum PhysicsMoments of the Wigner Distribution and a Generalized Uncertainty Principletext
