Abstract: The uncertainty relation lies at the heart of quantum theory and behaves as a non-classical constraint on the indeterminacies of incompatible observables in a system. In the literature, many experiments have been devoted to the test of the uncertainty relations which mainly focus on the pure states. In this work we test the novel majorization uncertainty relations of three incompatible observables using a series of mixed states with adjustable mixing degrees, and compare the compactness of various entropy uncertainty relations. The experimental results confirm that for general mixed quantum system, the majorization uncertainty relation tends to be the tightest constraint on uncertainty, and indicate that the entropy uncertainty relation obtained from the majorzation uncertainty relation is the optimal one. Our experimental setup provides an easy means for preparing mixed states, and based on this simple optical elements can be utilized to realize the required quantum states.
