Coherence as generalized conditional entropy: α - z -Rényi uncertainty relations

Yajia Xue, Yu Luo

Abstract We establish a rigorous equivalence between quantum coherence measures defined by the sandwiched Rényi relative entropy and generalized conditional entropies associated with auxiliary quantum systems, providing a direct operational interpretation of sandwiched Rényi relative entropy of coherence as the conditional uncertainty of projective measurement outcomes with quantum memory. Motivated by this connection, we develop a coherence-based approach to quantum uncertainty relations. Within this approach, we introduce a coherence measure induced by the two-parameter α - z -Rényi relative entropy and derive corresponding uncertainty relations for both pure and mixed quantum states. The resulting state-independent bounds recover known results in appropriate limits and yield tighter bounds over a broad parameter regime. Our results provide a systematic connection between quantum coherence, generalized conditional entropies, and uncertainty relations, thereby offering a unified perspective on quantum uncertainty in terms of Rényi-type information measures.

Entropic Uncertainty Relations for Successive Measurements in the Presence of a Minimal Length

Alexey E. Rastegin

We address the generalized uncertainty principle in scenarios of successive measurements. Uncertainties are characterized by means of generalized entropies of both the Rényi and Tsallis types. Here, specific features of measurements of observables with continuous spectra should be taken into account. First, we formulated uncertainty relations in terms of Shannon entropies. Since such relations involve a state-dependent correction term, they generally differ from preparation uncertainty relations. This difference is revealed when the position is measured by the first. In contrast, state-independent uncertainty relations in terms of Rényi and Tsallis entropies are obtained with the same lower bounds as in the preparation scenario. These bounds are explicitly dependent on the acceptance function of apparatuses in momentum measurements. Entropic uncertainty relations with binning are discussed as well.

Entropic uncertainty relations for measurements assigned to a projective two-design

Alexey E. Rastegin

The current study aims to examine uncertainty relations for quantum measurements assigned to a projective two-design. Complete sets of mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete measurements are important cases of such measurements. To characterize the amount of uncertainty, we use the Tsallis and Rényi entropies as well as the probabilities of separate outcomes. The obtained results are based on an estimation of the index of coincidence. They improve some uncertainty relations given in the literature.
