Inequalities for complementarity in observed statistics

Published Dec 29, 2021• 5 citations

Abstract

We provide an analysis of complementarity via a suitably designed classical model that leads to a set of inequalities that can be tested by means of unsharp measurements. We show that, if the measured statistics does not fulfill the inequalities it is equivalent to the lack of a joint distribution for the incompatible observables. This is illustrated by path-interference duality in a Young interferometer.

Bell-Fine theorems on complementarity

Elisa Masa, Laura Ares, Alfredo Luis

We provide a Bell-type analysis of complementarity via a suitably designed hidden-variables model that leads to a set of Bell-like inequalities that can be tested by easily measured observables. We show that this violation is equivalent to Fine-like theorems regarding the lack of a joint distribution for incompatible observables. This is illustrated by path-interference duality in a Young interferometer.

Complementarity and the pathological statistics of the quantum impossible

Irene Bartolomé, Alfredo Luis

Standard quantum physics prevents the existence of a joint statistics for complementary observables. Nevertheless, a joint distribution for complementary observables can be derived from their imperfect simultaneous measurement followed by a suitable data inversion. Quantumness is reflected then in the pathologies of the inferred distribution. We apply this program to the paradigmatic example of complementarity: the wave-particle duality in a Young interferometer.

Classical and quantum complementarity, impossible distributions and how much quantumness is truly quantum

Raquel Galazo García, Irene Bartolomé, Laura Ares +1 more

Complementary observables can be measured simultaneously with less than perfect accuracy, but the uncertainty added in the observation to each observable can be removed by a proper data inversion. We show that complementarity manifests in that the inferred joint distribution after the inversion is pathological in the sense of not being able to represent a true joint distribution. This is closely related to the fact that the observed joint distribution is not separable. We apply this program to the paradigmatic example of complementarity: the path-interference duality in a Young interferometer. A key feature is that the conclusions hold equally well in the quantum and classical theories. Complementarity is also examined in terms of Wigner-like functions and duality relations.

Duality relation and joint measurement in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Nai-Le Liu, Li Li, Sixia Yu +1 more

The Mach-Zehnder interferometric setup quantitatively characterizing the wave-particle duality implements in fact a joint measurement of two unsharp observables. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for such a pair of unsharp observables to be jointly measurable. The condition is shown to be equivalent to a duality inequality, which for the optimal strategy of extracting the which-path information is more stringent than the Jaeger-Shimony-Vaidman-Englert inequality.

Complementarity and uncertainty in quantum interference

C. R. Shilladay

This thesis is concerned with the notions of complementarity and uncertainty encountered in quantum mechanics. Its starting point is an assessment of how these concepts have been represented and illustrated by various writers dating back to their inception. Following the survey a coherent account of the connections and contrasts between complementarity and uncertainty is developed in the context of Mach-Zehnder interferometry. The effect on the interference pattern contrast of path detection via entanglement with a probe system, is explored and a joint unsharp measurement scheme of the complementary pairs, path and interference, described. The Mach-Zehnder set-up proves sufficiently versatile to show that quantum erasure and quantitative quantum erasure constitute instances of joint unsharp measurement of complementary observables. The analysis uses the representation of observables as positive operator valued measures.Path detection and interference observation require different experimental set-ups but can be reconciled in the simultaneous unsharp measurement and preparation. This reconciliation is expressed as an uncertainty relation however the mutually exclusive feature of complementarity is not discarded. It is possible to recover strict complementarity as a limit case of the appropriate uncertainty relation.One motivation for this study is the effort some authors have made in trying to express the founding features of quantum mechanics in the form of a hierarchy of significance. Here it is shown that complementarity and uncertainty have separate identities but are not completely independent of each other. Consequently, establishing a hierarchy of these features within the present formalism of quantum mechanics is not possible.

Complementarity and Uncertainty in Mach-Zehnder Interferometry and beyond

Paul Busch, C. R. Shilladay

A coherent account of the connections and contrasts between the principles of com-plementarity and uncertainty is developed starting from a survey of the various formalizations of these principles. The conceptual analysis is illustrated by means of a set of experimental schemes based on Mach-Zehnder interferometry. In particu-lar, path detection via entanglement with a probe system and (quantitative) quan-tum erasure are exhibited to constitute instances of joint unsharp measurements of complementary pairs of physical quantities, path and interference observables. The analysis uses the representation of observables as positive-operator-valued measures (POVMs). The reconciliation of complementary experimental options in the sense of simultaneous unsharp preparations and measurements is expressed in terms of uncertainty relations of different kinds. The feature of complementarity, manifest in the present examples in the mutual exclusivity of path detection and interference observation, is recovered as a limit case from the appropriate uncertainty relation. It is noted that the complementarity and uncertainty principles are neither completely logically independent nor logical consequences of one another. Since entanglement is an instance of the uncertainty of quantum properties (of compound systems), it is moot to play out uncertainty and entanglement against each other as possible mechanisms enforcing complementarity.
