Quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty principle, teleportation, and entanglement witness in structured reservoirs

Abstract

We relate the principle of quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty to quantum teleportation and show geometrically that any two-qubit state which lowers the upper bound of this uncertainty relation is useful for teleportation. We also explore the efficiency of this entropic uncertainty principle on witnessing entanglement in a general class of bosonic structured reservoirs. The entanglement regions witnessed by different estimates are determined, which may have no relation with the explicit form of the spectral density of the reservoir for certain special chosen sets of the initial states.

Entanglement witness via quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation

Jiadong Shi, Zhiyong Ding, Tao Wu +5 more

Abstract By virtue of the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation (EUR), we analyze entanglement witness via the efficiencies of the estimates proposed by Berta (2010 Nat. Phys . 6 659) and Pati (2012 Phys. Rev . A 86 042105). The results show that, without a structured reservoir, the entanglement regions witnessed by these EUR estimates are only determined by the chosen estimated setup, and have no correlation with the explicit form of the initial state. On the other hand, with the structured reservoirs, the time regions during which the entanglement can be witnessed, and the corresponding entanglement regions closely depend on the choice of the estimated setup, the initial state and the state purity p . Concretely, for a pure state with p = 1 , the entanglement can be witnessed by both estimates, while for mixed states with p = 0.78 , it can only be witnessed using the Pati estimate. What is more, we find that the time regions incorporating the Pati estimate become discontinuous for the initial state with | ϕ ′ 〉 = ( | 01 〉 + | 10 〉 ) / 2 , and the corresponding entanglement regions remain the same; however the entanglement can only be witnessed once by utilizing the Berta estimate.

Quantum‐Memory‐Assisted Entropic Uncertainty Relations

Dong Wang, Fei Ming, Ming‐Liang Hu +1 more

Abstract Uncertainty relations take a crucial and fundamental part in the frame of quantum theory, and are bringing on many marvelous applications in the emerging field of quantum information sciences. Especially, as entropy is imposed into the uncertainty principle, entropy‐based uncertainty relations lead to a number of applications including quantum key distribution, entanglement witness, quantum steering, quantum metrology, and quantum teleportation. Herein, the history of the development of the uncertainty relations is discussed, especially focusing on the recent progress with regard to quantum‐memory‐assisted entropic uncertainty relations and dynamical characteristics of the measured uncertainty in some explicit physical systems. The aims are to help deepen the understanding of entropic uncertainty relations and prompt further explorations for versatile applications of the relations on achieving practical quantum tasks.

Quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty and quantum correlation in structured reservoir

Bingbing Li, Feng Li, Jiadong Shi +1 more

Abstract In this work, we investigate the dynamics of quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) and quantum correlation quantified by entropic discord and geometric discord within the Markovian reservoir and non-Markovian reservoir. Particularly, when the initial state is a pure sate or mixed state the EUR gradually increases during the evolution at first, but subsequently tends to stable in the long-time limit. On other hand, for the separable state the EUR almost keeps constant. In contrast, quantum discord decay asymptotically to zero for all types of initial states. As an application, we prove that both two quantum discords witnessed by the EUR are determined by the version of discord chosen, which regardless of the reservoir.

Quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty, teleportation, and quantum discord under decohering environments

Mohammad Reza Pourkarimi, Saeed Haddadi

Abstract The one-qubit teleportation protocol is one of the most well-known topics of quantum information theory. Indeed, the goal of this quantum protocol is to teleport an arbitrary quantum state. Herein, we investigate the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory (EUR-QM), quantum discord (QD), and fidelity of teleportation under dephasing, dissipative, and noisy environments. We relate the EUR-QM to QD and quantum teleportation and show analytically that there is a fully anti-correlated relation between QD and entropic uncertainty in a dephasing environment. In the process of our analysis, we also find an explicit relationship between the average fidelity of teleportation and the entropic uncertainty of the channel state. Significantly, the results report that the fidelity of teleportation and QD of the channel state are more stable and most efficiently under the influence of a dephasing environment than those under the influence of a dissipative or noisy environment. It turns out that under a dephasing environment, these results can be vital in practical goals where the maximum fidelity of teleportation and minimum uncertainty are required such as in quantum teleportation protocols and quantum computation.

Fine-Grained Lower Limit of Entropic Uncertainty in the Presence of Quantum Memory

Tanumoy Pramanik, Priyanka Chowdhury, A. S. Majumdar

The limitation on obtaining precise outcomes of measurements performed on two noncommuting observables of a particle as set by the uncertainty principle in its entropic form can be reduced in the presence of quantum memory. We derive a new entropic uncertainty relation based on fine graining, which leads to an ultimate limit on the precision achievable in measurements performed on two incompatible observables in the presence of quantum memory. We show that our derived uncertainty relation tightens the lower bound set by entropic uncertainty for members of the class of two-qubit states with maximally mixed marginals, while accounting for the recent experimental results using maximally entangled pure states and mixed Bell-diagonal states. An implication of our uncertainty relation on the security of quantum key generation protocols is pointed out.
