Abstract

In this paper, we consider Wigner-Yanase-Dyson information as a measure of quantum uncertainty of a mixed state. We study some of the interesting properties of this generalized measure. The construction is reminiscent of the generalized entropies that have shown to be useful in many applications.

Uncertainty relation of mixed states by means of Wigner-Yanase-Dyson information

Dion Li, X. Li, F. Wang +3 more

The variance of an observable in a quantum state is usually used to describe Heisenberg uncertainty relation. For mixed states, the variance includes quantum and classical uncertainties. By means of the skew information and the decomposition of the variance, a stronger uncertainty relation was presented by Luo [Phys. Rev. A 72, 042110 (2005)]. In this paper, by using Wigner-Yanase-Dyson information which is a generalization of the skew information, we propose a general uncertainty relation of mixed states.

Generalized Wigner–Yanase–Dyson information revisited

Liang Cai

Motivated by the direct approach to quantum extensions of Fisher information in Chen and Luo [Front. Math. China 2 (2007) 359], we introduce a further generalized version of Wigner–Yanase–Dyson information, and investigate its fundamental properties including positivity, convexity and super-additivity, etc. As an application, we present a generalized uncertainty relation.

Quantifying coherence via the generalized Wigner–Yanase–Dyson skew information

Yajing Fan, X. Guo, Zhihua Guo +1 more

Quantum coherence is an important feature that distinguishes quantum mechanics from classical physics. In this paper, we study the coherence of a quantum state with respect to a quantum channel, and introduce a coherence measure in terms of the generalized Wigner–Yanase–Dyson skew information. The basic properties and operational significance of the measure are expounded in detail, which shows that it is indeed a veritable quantity and satisfies many desirable conditions intuitively required for the coherence measures. We illustrate the significance of characterizing channels from the coherence perspective through some examples. Finally, we consider the average coherence of a state based on the generalized Wigner–Yanase–Dyson skew information with respect to any complete mutually unbiased bases in prime power dimensional systems, as well as with respect to all orthonormal bases, and show that these two averages are equivalent since they both can be seen as the coherence of the quantum state with respect to the depolarizing quantum channel.

Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information and uncertainty relation

Kenjiro Yanagi

We give a trace inequality related to the uncertainty relation of Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information. This inequality corresponds to a generalization of the uncertainty relation derived by S.Luo [8] for the quantum uncertainty quantity excluding the classical mixture. Finally we show a counter-example of the uncertainty relation related to Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information given in [6] recently.
