Tomographic entropic inequalities in the probability representation of quantum mechanics

Abstract

A review of the tomographic-probability representation of classical and quantum states is presented. The tomographic entropies and entropic uncertainty relations are discussed in connection with ambiguities in the interpretation of the state tomograms which are considered either as a set of the probability distributions of random variables depending on extra parameters or as a single joint probability distribution of these random variables and random parameters with specific properties of the marginals. Examples of optical tomograms of photon states, symplectic tomograms, and unitary spin tomograms of qudits are given. A new universal integral inequality for generic wave function is obtained on the base of tomographic entropic uncertainty relations.

STATE-EXTENDED UNCERTAINTY RELATIONS AND TOMOGRAPHIC INEQUALITIES AS QUANTUM SYSTEM STATE CHARACTERISTICS

Vladimir N. Chernega, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Some inequalities for probability vector are discussed. The probability representation of quantum mechanics where the states are mapped onto probability vectors (either finite or infinite dimensional) called the state tomograms is used. Examples of inequalities for qudit tomograms and a state-extended uncertainty relation are considered. Tomographic cumulant related to photon state tomographic probability distributions is introduced and it is used as parameter of the state non-Gaussianity.

Quantum correlations and tomographic representation

Olga V. Man’ko, Vladimir N. Chernega

We review the probabilistic representation of quantum mechanics within which states are described by the probability distribution rather than by the wavefunction and density matrix. Uncertainty relations have been obtained in the form of integral inequalities containing measurable optical tomograms of quantum states. Formulas for the transition probabilities and purity parameter have been derived in terms of the tomographic probability distributions. Inequalities for Shannon and Rényi entropies associated with quantum tomograms have been obtained. A scheme of the star product of tomograms has been developed.

Joint probability distributions and conditional probabilities in the tomographic representation of quantum states

Margarita A. Man’ko

The tomographic-probability distributions associated with quantum states of photons and qudits are generalized and considered as joint probability distributions and conditional probability distributions. Entropic inequalities such as the subadditivity condition as well as nonnegativity of Shannon entropy are applied for obtaining new analogues of entropic uncertainty relations.

Symplectic entropy

The tomographic-probability description of quantum states is reviewed. The symplectic tomography of quantum states with continuous variables is studied. The symplectic entropy of the states with continuous variables is discussed and its relation to Shannon entropy and information is elucidated. The known entropic uncertainty relations of the probability distribution in position and momentum of a particle are extended and new uncertainty relations for symplectic entropy are obtained. The partial case of symplectic entropy, which is optical entropy of quantum states, is considered. The entropy associated to optical tomogram is shown to satisfy the new entropic uncertainty relation. The example of Gaussian states of harmonic oscillator is studied and the entropic uncertainty relations for optical tomograms of the Gaussian state are shown to minimize the uncertainty relation.
