Collision entropy and optimal uncertainty

We propose an alternative measure of quantum uncertainty for pairs of arbitrary observables in the two-dimensional case, in terms of collision entropies. We derive the optimal lower bound for this entropic uncertainty relation, which results in an analytic function of the overlap of the correspondin...

Descrição
Resumo:We propose an alternative measure of quantum uncertainty for pairs of arbitrary observables in the two-dimensional case, in terms of collision entropies. We derive the optimal lower bound for this entropic uncertainty relation, which results in an analytic function of the overlap of the corresponding eigenbases. Besides, we obtain the minimum uncertainty states. We compare our relation with other formulations of the uncertainty principle.
