Abstract

Abstract We present new generalizations of Cauchy–Schwarz inequalities to multiple vectors and use them to derive multi-operator quantum uncertainty relations and propose multi-operator squeezing.

Uncertainty relations in the product form

Xiaofen Huang, Ting-Gui Zhang, Naihuan Jing

We study the uncertainty relation in the product form of variances and obtain some new uncertainty relations with weight, which are shown to be tighter than those derived from the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.

Mathematical Uncertainty Relations and their Generalization for Multiple Incompatible Observables

Hung Quang Nguyen, Tu Quang Bui

We show that the famous Heisenberg uncertainty relation for two incompatible observables can be generalized elegantly to the determinant form for N arbitrary observables. To achieve this purpose, we propose a generalization of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for two sets of vectors. Simple consequences of the N-ary uncertainty relation are also discussed. Keywords: Generalized uncertainty relation, Generalized uncertainty principle, Generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

A simple derivation of the Schrödinger uncertainty relation

Gustavo Rigolin

Abstract We show how the Schrödinger uncertainty relation for a pair of observables can be deduced using the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality plus successive applications of the commutation relation involving the two observables. Our derivation differs from the original one in the sense that we do not need the expansion of the product of these two observables in a sum of symmetrical and anti-symmetrical operators.

An improved bound for strong unitary uncertainty relations with refined sequence

Jing Li, Sujuan Zhang, Lu Liu +1 more

Abstract We derive the lower bound of uncertainty relations of two unitary operators for a class of states based on the geometric-arithmetic inequality and Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. Furthermore, we propose a set of uncertainty relations for three unitary operators. Compared to the known bound introduced in Yu et al (2019 Phys. Rev . A 100 022116), the unitary uncertainty relations bound with our method is tighter, to a certain extent. Meanwhile, some examples are given in the paper to illustrate our conclusions.

Strong unitary uncertainty relations

Bing Yu, Naihuan Jing, Xianqing Li‐Jost

In this paper we provide a set of uncertainty principles for unitary operators using a sequence of inequalities with the help of the geometric-arithmetic mean inequality. As these inequalities are ``fine-grained'' compared with the well-known Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, our framework naturally improves the results based on the latter. As such, the unitary uncertainty relations based on our method outperform the best known bound introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 230402 (2018). to some extent. Explicit examples of unitary uncertainty relations are provided to back our claims.
