Abstract

Abstract The measurement precision for two incompatible observables in a typical quantum system can be improved by the aid of one particle as a quantum memory. In this work, we study the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory (EUR-QM) and dense coding capacity (DCC) for arbitrary two-qubit X-states, and then we obtain an explicit relationship between the lower bound of the uncertainty and DCC. As an example, we examine the thermal EUR-QM as well as DCC in two kinds of two-qubit spin squeezing models (one-axis twisting model and two-axis counter-twisting model) under an external magnetic field. In the following, we relate EUR-QM to DCC and show analytically that there is an anti-correlated relation between them, and especially in the ground state. Our results show that for both the models, the entropic uncertainty and its bound can be decreased by reinforcing the spin squeezing parameters or decreasing the temperature of the system. Notably, we reveal that the valid dense coding cannot carry out in the one-axis twisting model, nevertheless, if we properly choose the Hamiltonian parameters, the two-axis counter-twisting model not only carries out the valid dense coding but also the optimal dense coding surely can be achieved. Thereby, our observations might offer new insights into quantum measurement precision and the optimal dense coding for the regimes of various solid-state systems.

Quantum correlations and quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation in two kinds of spin squeezing models

Abstract We investigate thermal quantum correlations and the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory under two kinds of two-qubit spin squeezing models, namely the one-axis twisting model and two-axis countertwisting model. We provide the analytical expressions of quantum correlations and the entropic uncertainty relation in the ground state for these two models and we find a simple relationship between quantum discord and entropic uncertainty. It is found that there is a fully anti-correlated relationship between quantum correlations and entropic uncertainty. Also, the maximal quantum correlation and minimal uncertainty can be achieved when the spin squeezing parameters are large enough. Accordingly, these results may be significant in practical goals in which the maximum quantum correlation and minimum uncertainty are required such as in quantum key distribution and quantum computing.

Dense Coding and Quantum Memory Assisted Entropic Uncertainty Relations in a Two‐Qubit State Influenced by Dipole and Symmetric Cross Interactions

Mahmoud Youssef Abd‐Rabbou, Eied Mahmoud Khalil

Abstract Optimal dense coding and entropic uncertainty relation of quantum memory (EUR‐QM) of the two‐qubit Heisenberg chain model influenced by atomic dipole and Kaplan–Shekhtman–Entin–Wohlman–Aharony interactions are studied. The temporal evolution of the two functions at the phase decoherence environment with the Werner state as the initial state is discussed. The results imply that the dense coding and EUR‐QM have a contrary relationship, and an increase in the phase decoherence rate reduces the behavior of the two functions. The growth in coupling dipole interaction plays a role in oscillating and increasing the minimum bounds of the dense coding capacity. On the other hand, the effect of a thermal bath on the two functions at finite temperatures is investigated. The coding capacity suffers from sudden death as the temperature increases. The possibility of restraining the sudden death induced by the temperature may be enhanced by increasing the strength of the symmetric cross interaction. As the coupling of dipole increases, the EUR‐QM decreases while the coding capacity rises to its maximum value.

Measurement uncertainty and dense coding in a two-qubit system: Combined effects of bosonic reservoir and dipole–dipole interaction

Saeed Haddadi, Ming‐Liang Hu, Youssef Khedif +3 more

The uncertainty principle imposes a limitation on the measurement accuracy of two incompatible observables and has potential applications in quantum information science. We explore the bipartite entropic uncertainty relation and dense coding for two qubits coupled via dipole–dipole interaction and subject to a bosonic reservoir. It is shown that there exists a trade-off between the uncertainty bound and the dense coding capacity which results in their opposite dynamical behaviors. Moreover, the behaviors of the measurement uncertainty and the dense coding capacity rely crucially on the initial system–reservoir correlation, the strength of the dipole–dipole interaction, and the degree of non-Markovianity, and one can reduce the measurement uncertainty and enhance the dense coding capacity by tuning these parameters to appropriate values.

Exploration of entropic uncertainty bound in a symmetric multi-qubit system under noisy channels

Mohammad Reza Pourkarimi, Saeed Haddadi, Soroush Haseli

Abstract Considering one of the particles as a quantum memory in a bipartite system can remarkably improve the measurement accuracy for two incompatible observables. Herein, we study quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty bound for an arbitrary two-qubit X-state, and then we get a clear formula as the entropic uncertainty bound. In the following, we examine analytically and numerically the dynamics of entropic uncertainty bound in a symmetric multi-qubit system under four types of noisy channels, i.e. phase-flip, amplitude damping, phase-damping, and depolarizing channels. Our results show that the entropic uncertainty bound dynamics is related to the number of particles and especially the noise channel used. Noteworthy, our remarks reveal that under the amplitude damping channel, the entropic uncertainty bound can be suppressed during the time. It turns out that under an amplitude damping channel, these results can be important in practical goals where the minimum uncertainty is required such as quantum computation.

Entropic uncertainty relation of a two-qutrit Heisenberg spin model in nonuniform magnetic fields and its dynamics under intrinsic decoherence

Zuo-Yuan Zhang, Daxiu Wei, Jin‐Ming Liu

Abstract The precision of measurements for two incompatible observables in a physical system can be improved with the assistance of quantum memory. In this paper, we investigate the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for a spin-1 Heisenberg model in the presence of external magnetic fields, the systemic quantum entanglement (characterized by the negativity) is analyzed as contrast. Our results show that for the XY spin chain in thermal equilibrium, the entropic uncertainty can be reduced by reinforcing the coupling between the two particles or decreasing the temperature of the environment. At zero-temperature, the strong magnetic field can result in the growth of the entropic uncertainty. Moreover, in the Ising case, the variation trends of the uncertainty are relied on the choices of anisotropic parameters. Taking the influence of intrinsic decoherence into account, we find that the strong coupling accelerates the inflation of the uncertainty over time, whereas the high magnetic field contributes to its reduction during the temporal evolution. Furthermore, we also verify that the evolution behavior of the entropic uncertainty is roughly anti-correlated with that of the entanglement in the whole dynamical process. Our results could offer new insights into quantum precision measurement for the high spin solid-state systems.

Impact of reservoir squeezing on quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relations

Hamad Ali, Abdul Basit, Fuli Li

The entropic uncertainty principle imposes a limit on how precisely two incompatible observables can be measured, which can be reduced when quantum memory is involved. We theoretically investigate the dynamics of the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation when either quantum memory alone or both the measured particle and the quantum memory interact with a squeezed-vacuum bath through energy-preserving interactions. We show that in both scenarios, the squeezing phase of the reservoir decreases the entropic uncertainty (EU), whereas the squeezing strength increases the EU. In addition, we find that EU can be significantly reduced when both the measured particle and quantum memory are subjected to a common squeezed-vacuum bath. Furthermore, we explore the key factors controlling the behavior of EU by exploring the competition between quantum discord and minimal missing information. Moreover, we examine the tightness of the entropic uncertainty bound (EUB) in both system-environment setups and observe that the EUB is less tight when both the measured particle and quantum memory are coupled to a common squeezed-vacuum bath.
