Abstract

The precision of measurements for two incompatible observables is limited due to the uncertainty principle; however, it can be improved with the assistance of quantum memory. In article number 1800208, by considering that a particle is initially entangled with the quantum memory in flat Minkowski space–time, and then the quantum memory freely falls toward a Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger (GHS) dilation black hole and locates near the event horizon, Zuo-Yuan Zhang and co-workers investigate the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for Dirac particles in GHS dilation space–time.

Entropic uncertainty relation in Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger dilation black hole

Fariba Shahbazi, Soroush Haseli, Hazhir Dolatkhah +1 more

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is a fundamental element in quantum mechanics. It sets a bound on our ability to predict the measurement outcomes of two incompatible observables simultaneously. In quantum information theory, the uncertainty principle can be expressed using entropic measures. The entropic uncertainty relation can be improved by considering an additional particle as a memory particle. The presence of quantum correlation between the memory particle and the measured particle reduces the uncertainty. In a curved space-time, the presence of the Hawking radiation can reduce quantum correlation. Therefore, concerning the relationship between the quantum correlation and entropic uncertainty lower bound, we expect that the Hawking radiation increases the entropic uncertainty lower bound. In this work, we investigate the entropic uncertainty relation in Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) dilation black hole. We consider a model in which the memory particle is located near the event horizon outside the black hole, while the measured particle is free falling. To study the proposed model, we will consider examples with Dirac fields. We also explore the effect of the Hawking radiation on the quantum secret key rate.

Entropic Uncertainty Relation for Dirac Particles in Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger Dilation Space–Time

Zuo-Yuan Zhang, Jin‐Ming Liu, Zhengfeng Hu +1 more

Abstract The quantum‐memory‐assisted entropic uncertainty relation for Dirac particles in the background of a Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger (GHS) dilation black hole is investigated, and the relationship between the entropy uncertainty and the quantum entanglement of a hybrid qubit–qutrit state in the GHS space–time analyzed. The results show that the physically accessible uncertainty increases while the inaccessible uncertainty decreases as the dilation parameter of the black hole enhances. Moreover, the evolution behavior of the uncertainty is inversely correlated with that of the entanglement between the quantum memory and the particle to be measured. Meanwhile, a method to steer the entropic uncertainty with the technique of weak measurement reversal is proposed. It is found that the uncertainty can be reduced effectively by adjusting the appropriate measurement strength. These findings may lead to a deeper understanding of entropy uncertainty dynamics, as well as its steering in a curved space–time.

Quantumness and entropic uncertainty in curved space-time

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

Abstract We explore the tripartite entropic uncertainty and genuine tripartite quantumness of Dirac fields in the background of the Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger (GHS) dilation space-time. It is interesting to note that Hawking radiation leads to the decay of quantum nonlocality in the physically accessible region while preserving its total coherence. More importantly, it demonstrates an intrinsic trade-off relationship between the coherences of physically accessible and inaccessible regions. Moreover, we examine the effect of Hawking radiation on entropy-based measured uncertainty and find that stronger Hawking radiation causes the uncertainty in physically accessible regions to increase while decreasing the uncertainty in physically inaccessible regions. Therefore, our investigations may be beneficial to a better understanding of the system’s quantumness in a curved space-time. Combining relativity theory with quantum information science offers new avenues for comprehending the information paradoxes involving black holes.

Entropic uncertainty assisted by temporal memory

H. S. Karthik, A. R. Usha Devi, J. Prabhu Tej +1 more

The uncertainty principle brings out intrinsic quantum bounds on the precision of measuring non-commuting observables. Statistical outcomes in the measurement of incompatible observables reveal a trade-off on the sum of corresponding entropies. Massen-Uffink entropic uncertainty relation (Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 1103 (1988)) constrains the sum of entropies associated with incompatible measurements. The entropic uncertainty principle in the presence of quantum memory (Nature Phys. 6, 659 (2010)) brought about a fascinating twist by showing that quantum side information, enabled due to entanglement, helps in beating the uncertainty of non-commuting observables. Here we explore the interplay between temporal correlations and uncertainty. We show that with the assistance of a prior quantum temporal information achieved by sequential observations on the same quantum system at different times, the uncertainty bound on entropies gets reduced.

Uncertainty relations for quantum coherence in the background of dilaton black holes

Xiao‐Gang Fan, Zhiyong Ding, Huan Yang +2 more

Abstract The coherence of a quantum system can be considered as the available physical resource, and its quantification respects the choice of reference bases. In this paper, we propose the uncertainty relations for quantum coherence (URQC) of a bipartite system AB in mutually unbiased bases, where particle A is the measured particle and B is regarded as the quantum memory. It is confirmed that the Holevo quantity can improve the lower bound of coherence. By defining the tightness as the difference between coherence and its lower bound, we find that the tightness of the improved URQC is independent of the quantum memory. As an example of application, we investigate the URQC of Dirac particles in the background of a Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilaton black hole beyond the single-mode approximation. It shows that the lower bound of coherence decreases monotonically with the increase of dilaton parameter due to the Hawking effect. Moreover, since the subsystem A is not affected by the black hole, the tightness of the improved URQC is always keep constant. It worth mentioning that the change of coherence can be precisely predicted via the known tightness and the improved lower bound measured experimentally.

Holevo bound of entropic uncertainty in Schwarzschild spacetime

Jin-Long Huang, Wen-Cong Gan, Yunlong Xiao +2 more

For a pair of incompatible quantum measurements, the total uncertainty can be bounded by a state-independent constant. However, such a bound can be violated if the quantum system is entangled with another quantum system (called memory); the quantum correlation between the systems can reduce the measurement uncertainty. On the other hand, in a curved spacetime, the presence of the Hawking radiation can reduce quantum correlation. The interplay of quantum correlation in the curved spacetime has become an interesting arena for studying uncertainty relations. Here we demonstrate that the bounds of the entropic uncertainty relations, in the presence of memory, can be formulated in terms of the Holevo quantity, which limits how much information can be encoded in a quantum system. Specifically, we considered examples with Dirac fields with and without spin, near the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, the Holevo bound provides a better bound than the previous bound based on the mutual information. Furthermore, as the memory moves away from the black hole, the difference between the total uncertainty and the new lower bound remains a constant, not depending on any property of the black hole.
