Coexistent observables and effects in a convexity approach

Abstract

We characterize functionally coexistent observables in terms of biobservables and joint observables. Coexistent sets of effects are characterized in terms of projective systems of simple observables.

On the coexistence of position and momentum observables

Claudio Carmeli, Teiko Heinonen, Alessandro Toigo

We investigate the problem of coexistence of position and momentum observables. We characterize those pairs of position and momentum observables which have a joint observable.

The Automorphism and Coexistence of The Quantum Effects

Babak Ziaei

This work is a study on the symmetry groups of quantum mechanics accompanied by its applications on the coexistence of qubit effects. We surveyed among some of the mappings known as preservers on the set of quantum effects for their role in conserving specific structures that are important in quantum mechanics. Since the preserves in this work mainly target the quantum effects, we provided principals of its corresponding algebra known as effect algebra. Then we advanced, to study the relations between some of these preservers (here we mean automorphisms) by channels operate on qubit effects. The channels are in convex form and we investigate the role of their convex parameters in conserving or breaking the coexistence of two qubit effects. The preserver that we are interested in is a bijective map which preserves the order and coexistence of effects in both directions. Of course, the coexistence of qubit effects can also be studied in the language of coexistence and compatibility of observables. Then our task is to study the coexistence of observables when there are only two effects in their outcome sets. This task has been studied for observables with arbitrary number of effects in their outcome sets [48]. The bounds they have found for the channels convex parameters are independent of that number. However, when the case narrows for limited number outcomes no analytic solution is available, and the study should be carried numerically. Here, we considered observables each having only two nontrivial effects in their out come sets, and asked for the demanding conditions that break their compatibility partially or completely.

Noise and disturbance of qubit measurements: An information-theoretic characterization

Alastair A. Abbott, Cyril Branciard

Information-theoretic definitions for the noise associated with a quantum measurement and the corresponding disturbance to the state of the system have recently been introduced [F. Buscemi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 050401 (2014)]. These definitions are invariant under relabeling of measurement outcomes, and lend themselves readily to the formulation of state-independent uncertainty relations both for the joint estimate of observables (noise-noise relations) and the noise-disturbance tradeoff. Here we derive such relations for incompatible qubit observables, which we prove to be tight in the case of joint estimates, and present progress towards fully characterizing the noise-disturbance tradeoff. In doing so, we show that the set of obtainable noise-noise values for such observables is convex, whereas the conjectured form for the set of obtainable noise-disturbance values is not. Furthermore, projective measurements are not optimal with respect to the joint-measurement noise or noise-disturbance tradeoffs. Interestingly, it seems that four-outcome measurements are needed in the former case, whereas three-outcome measurements are optimal in the latter.
