Abstract

The uncertainty principle plays an important role in both physics and mathematics, and it also plays an important role in information science. This paper reviewed the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principles, windowed uncertainty principles, logarithmic uncertainty principles, entropic uncertainty principles and so on in the fractional Fourier transform domains and linear canonical transform domains in great details. The development and applications of generalized uncertainty principles were analyzed, and the trend and direction were given as well.

Review on entropic uncertainty relations

Lijuan Li, Fei Ming, Xue‐Ke Song +2 more

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is one of the characteristics of quantum mechanics. With the vigorous development of quantum information theory, uncertain relations have gradually played an important role in it. In particular, in order to solved the shortcomings of the concept in the initial formulation of the uncertainty principle, we brought entropy into the uncertainty relation, after that, the entropic uncertainty relation has exploited the advantages to the full in various applications. As we all know the entropic uncertainty relation has became the core element of the security analysis of almost all quantum cryptographic protocols. This review mainly introduces development history and latest progress of uncertain relations. After Heisenberg's argument that incompatible measurement results are impossible to predict, many scholars, inspired by this viewpoint, have made further relevant investigations. They combined the quantum correlation between the observable object and its environment, and carried out various generalizations of the uncertainty relation to obtain more general formulas. In addition, it also focuses on the entropy uncertainty relationship and quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation, and the dynamic characteristics of uncertainty in some physical systems. Finally, various applications of the entropy uncertainty relationship in the field of quantum information are discussed, from randomnesss to wave-particle duality to quantum key distribution.

New Inequalities and Uncertainty Relations on Linear Canonical Transform Revisit

Guanlei Xu, Xiaotong Wang, Xiaogang Xu

The uncertainty principle plays an important role in mathematics, physics, signal processing, and so on. Firstly, based on definition of the linear canonical transform (LCT) and the traditional Pitt's inequality, one novel Pitt's inequality in the LCT domains is obtained, which is connected with the LCT parameters and Then one novel logarithmic uncertainty principle is derived from this novel Pitt's inequality in the LCT domains, which is associated with parameters of the two LCTs. Secondly, from the relation between the original function and LCT, one entropic uncertainty principle and one Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in the LCT domains are derived, which are associated with the LCT parameters and The reason why the three lower bounds are only associated with LCT parameters and and independent of and is presented. The results show it is possible that the bounds tend to zeros.

A brief review on uncertainty principle and its variants

Manas Protim Saikia

In this paper, using two different formulations, we attempted to first provide an overview of mathematical interpretations of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This was done in order to emphasise the mathematical justification for the uncertainty principle's existence. First, we went over in detail the matrix formulation found in Schrodinger's original paper on uncertainty. Next, we reviewed the mathematical proof of the uncertainty principle in a Fourier series formulation and examined the results. We attempted to provide a comprehensive overview of the modified forms of the uncertainty relation in the Quantum Gravitational, Relativistic, and Entropic domains along with other variants after realizing that the most well-known uncertainty relation is not universal. All of these concepts also demonstrate a great deal of potential for use in the emerging new technologies. Our goal was to gather all of these dispersed variations of the uncertainty principle in one location. The current state of these theories, as well as their applications and limitations, are thoroughly discussed.

A Generalized Uncertainty Principle Involving Fractional Fourier Transform

Marni Rezki, Mawardi Bahri, Muhammad Zakir

It is well known that the fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) is a non-trivial generalization of the classical Fourier transform. This transform has been extensively utilized in signal analysis and image processing. The uncertainty principle is one of the fundamental results related to the FrFT. In the present paper, we first propose the different method in proving a variant of Heisenberg uncertainty principles associated with the FrFT. This method combines the Heisenberg-type uncertainty principle pertaining to the FrFT and the additive property of the FrFT. We then provide an alternative proof of the logarithmic inequality for the FRFT and find that this result differs slightly that in the literature. Finally, we explicitly expand the variant of Heisenberg uncertainty principle to a more general case.

Entropic uncertainty relations – A survey

Stephanie Wehner, Andreas Winter

Uncertainty relations play a central role in quantum mechanics. Entropic uncertainty relations in particular have gained significant importance within quantum information, providing the foundation for the security of many quantum cryptographic protocols. Yet, rather little is known about entropic uncertainty relations with more than two measurement settings. In this note we review known results and open questions. The uncertainty principle is one of the fundamental ideas of quantum mechanics. Since Heisenberg’s uncertainty relations for canonically conjugate variables, they have been one of the most prominent examples of how quantum mechanics differs from the classical world (Heisenberg, 1927). Uncertainty relations today are probably best known in the form given by (Robertson, 1929), who extended Heisenberg’s result to two arbitrary observables A and B. Robertson’s relation states that if we prepare many copies of the state |ψ〉, and measure each copy individually using either A or B, we have
