Abstract

In this article, we prove various smooth uncertainty principles on von Neumann bi-algebras, which unify a number of uncertainty principles on quantum symmetries, such as subfactors, fusion bialgebras, etc., studied in quantum Fourier analysis. We also obtain Wigderson–Wigderson type uncertainty principles for von Neumann bi-algebras. Moreover, we give a complete answer to a conjecture proposed by A. Wigderson and Y. Wigderson.

On a Heisenberg-Type Uncertainty Principle in von Neumann Algebras

Paolo Gibilisco, Tommaso Isola

A refinement of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle has been proved by Luo using Wigner–Yanase information. Generalizations of this result have been proved by Yanagi and by other scholars for regular Quantum Fisher Information in the matrix case. In this paper, we prove these results in the von Neumann algebra setting.

UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE FOR WIGNER–YANASE–DYSON INFORMATION IN SEMIFINITE VON NEUMANN ALGEBRAS

Paolo Gibilisco, Tommaso Isola

In Ref. 9, Kosaki proved an uncertainty principle for matrices, related to Wigner–Yanase–Dyson information, and asked if a similar inequality could be proved in the von Neumann algebra setting. In this paper we prove such an uncertainty principle in the semifinite case.

The smooth entropy formalism for von Neumann algebras

Mario Berta, Fabian Furrer, Volkher B. Scholz

We discuss information-theoretic concepts on infinite-dimensional quantum systems. In particular, we lift the smooth entropy formalism as introduced by Renner and collaborators for finite-dimensional systems to von Neumann algebras. For the smooth conditional min- and max-entropy, we recover similar characterizing properties and information-theoretic operational interpretations as in the finite-dimensional case. We generalize the entropic uncertainty relation with quantum side information of Tomamichel and Renner and discuss applications to quantum cryptography. In particular, we prove the possibility to perform privacy amplification and classical data compression with quantum side information modeled by a von Neumann algebra.

Heisenberg uncertainty principle and its analogues in higher dimension: via Wigdersons' method

Yiyu Tang

The following question was proposed by Avi Wigderson and Yuval Wigderson: Is it possible to use the method in their paper(The uncertainty principle: variations on a theme) to prove Heisenberg uncertainty principle in higher dimension R^d, and get the correct dependence of the constant on d? We answer this question affirmatively, and also prove some generalizations of Heisenberg uncertainty principle in R^d via Wigdersons' method.

AN INEQUALITY RELATED TO UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE IN VON NEUMANN ALGEBRAS

Paolo Gibilisco, Tommaso Isola

Recently Kosaki proved an inequality for matrices that can be seen as a kind of new uncertainty principle. Independently, the same result was proved by Yanagi et al. The new bound is given in terms of Wigner–Yanase–Dyson informations. Kosaki himself asked if this inequality can be proved in the setting of von Neumann algebras. In this paper we provide a positive answer to that question and moreover we show how the inequality can be generalized to an arbitrary operator monotone function.

Unitary equivalence in generalized uncertainty principle theories

Sebastiano Segreto, Matteo Bruno

We analyze the issue of unitary equivalence within Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) theories in the one-dimensional case. For a deformed Heisenberg algebra, its representation in terms of Hilbert space and conjugate operators is not uniquely determined, raising the question of whether different realizations of the same algebra are equivalent and describe the same physics. After proposing a definition of a quantum GUP theory, we establish conditions for unitary equivalence. Using this framework, we rigorously prove that two commonly used representations are unitarily equivalent, specifying the conditions under which this equivalence holds. We demonstrate this equivalence explicitly by providing a unitary map and showing how both GUP formulations yield the same physical results in two examples: the quantum harmonic oscillator and a free-falling particle. Finally, we discuss a case where equivalence fails, suggesting that a generalization of the Stone-von Neumann theorem may not be possible within the GUP framework under our definition of unitary equivalence.
