Uncertainty relation of successive measurements based on Wigner–Yanase skew information

Abstract

Abstract Wigner–Yanase skew information could quantify the quantum uncertainty of the observables that are not commuting with a conserved quantity. We present the uncertainty principle for two successive projective measurements in terms of Wigner–Yanase skew information based on a single quantum system. It could capture the incompatibility of the observables, i.e. the lower bound can be nontrivial for the observables that are incompatible with the state of the quantum system. Furthermore, the lower bound is also constrained by the quantum Fisher information. In addition, we find the complementarity relation between the uncertainties of the observable which operated on the quantum state and the other observable that performed on the post-measured quantum state and the uncertainties formed by the non-degenerate quantum observables performed on the quantum state, respectively.

Geometric uncertainty relations on Wigner–Yanase skew information

Bin Chen, Pan Lian

Abstract We formulate uncertainty relations based on Wigner–Yanase skew information. By using the Kirillov–Kostant–Souriau Kähler structure on the quantum phase space, we present a new geometric uncertainty relation associated to the skew information, which is shown to be tighter than the existing ones. Furthermore, we provide a skew information-based product uncertainty relation, in which the lower bound can also be used to capture the non-commutativity of the observables. We also attempt to generalize the geometric uncertainty inequalities to the case of arbitrary three observables, where the Kähler structure plays a vital role in the proof.

Uncertainty relations based on Wigner–Yanase skew information

Xiaofen Huang, Tinggui Zhang, Naihuan Jing

Abstract In this paper, we use certain norm inequalities to obtain new uncertain relations based on the Wigner–Yanase skew information. First for an arbitrary finite number of observables we derive an uncertainty relation outperforming previous lower bounds. We then propose new weighted uncertainty relations for two noncompatible observables. Two separable criteria via skew information are also obtained.

Uncertainty Relation Based on Wigner–Yanase–Dyson Skew Information with Quantum Memory

Jun Li, Shao-Ming Fei

We present uncertainty relations based on Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information with quantum memory. Uncertainty inequalities both in product and summation forms are derived. It is shown that the lower bounds contain two terms: one characterizes the degree of compatibility of two measurements, and the other is the quantum correlation between the measured system and the quantum memory. Detailed examples are given for product, separable and entangled states.

State-dependent and state-independent uncertainty relations for skew information and standard deviation

Sahil

Abstract In this work, we derive state-dependent uncertainty relations (uncertainty equalities) in which commutators of incompatible operators (not necessarily Hermitian) are explicitly present and state-independent uncertainty relations based on the Wigner-Yanase (-Dyson) skew information. We derive uncertainty equality based on standard deviation for incompatible operators with mixed states, a generalization of previous works in which only pure states were considered. We show that for pure states, the Wigner-Yanase skew information based state-independent uncertainty relations become standard deviation based state-independent uncertainty relations which turn out to be tighter uncertainty relations for some cases than the ones given in previous works, and we generalize the previous works for arbitrary operators. As the Wigner-Yanase skew information of a quantum channel can be considered as a measure of quantum coherence of a density operator with respect to that channel, we show that there exists a state-independent uncertainty relation for the coherence measures of the density operator with respect to a collection of different channels. We show that state-dependent and state-independent uncertainty relations based on a more general version of skew information called generalized skew information which includes the Wigner-Yanase (-Dyson) skew information and the Fisher information as special cases hold. In qubits, we derive tighter state-independent uncertainty inequalities for different form of generalized skew informations and standard deviations, and state-independent uncertainty equalities involving generalized skew informations and standard deviations of spin operators along three orthogonal directions. Finally, we provide a scheme to determine the Wigner-Yanase (-Dyson) skew information of an unknown observable which can be performed in experiment using the notion of weak values.

Generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information and the affiliated inequality

Ma-Cheng Yang, Cong‐Feng Qiao

A family of skew information quantities is obtained, in which the well-known Wigner-Yanase skew information and quantum Fisher information stand as special cases. A transparent proof of convexity of the generalized skew information is given, implying a simple proof of the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson conjecture. We find in this work an exact skew information inequality for a qubit system, which may be regarded as the information counterpart of the uncertainty relation. A lower bound for the generalized skew information of a pair of incompatible observables in arbitrary dimension and also the upper bound for a qubit system are achieved.
