Abstract We address the dynamics of the lower bound of geometric quantum discord and quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty in a two-qutrit system when exposed to classical channels characterized by power-law (PL) and random telegraph (RT) noises. The system-channel coupling strategy is examined in two contexts: common qutrit-environment (CQE) and different qutrit-environment (DQE) configurations. We show that the geometric quantum discord functions remain anti-correlated with entropic uncertainty and decline as uncertainty appears in the system. The rate of entropic uncertainty appearance seems more prevalent than the decline rate of quantum discord function, suggesting that uncertainty causes the quantum correlations to fade in quantum systems. We find that non-local correlations estimated by the lower bound of geometric quantum discord are not destroyed even at the maximum entropic disorder and entropic uncertainty. In addition, the efficacy of entropic uncertainty and the lower bound is strongly influenced by the state’s purity factor, with the former being more robust at higher purity values and the latter at lower purity values. All the parameters impact entropic uncertainty, however, the mixedness of the state is noticed to greatly alter the generation of quantum memory. Besides, PL noise caused Markovian behavioral dynamics, and the RT noise allowed non-Markovian dynamics, while the latter remains more resourceful for the quantum correlations preservation and entropic uncertainty suppression. We also demonstrate how to model longer quantum correlations and provide optimal parameter settings for suppressing the dephasing and entropic uncertainty effects.

The uncertainty principle limits the ability for observer to precisely measure two incompatible observables, and plays a crucial role in quantum precision measurement in the quantum information science. When quantum systems interact with their surroundings, they inevitably result in decoherence, which increases the uncertainty of the system. In the process of quantum information processing, the effective regulation of uncertainty becomes a key problem that needs to be solved. In this work, we investigate the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation of a two-qubit system under correlated channels with dephasing colored noise. We demonstrate that it is possible to control the entropic uncertainty, U, and its lower bound, Ub, by combining correlations between successive uses of channels and the non-Markovianity of the dynamical evolution. Firstly, the evolutionary characteristics of the trace distance are employed to distinguish between Markovianity and non-Markovianity of the channel. Subsequently, the system is selected to be either a maximally entangled state or separated state initially. By adjusting the strength η of the correlations, we find that with the increase of η, the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound decrease. Especially, if the channel is fully correlated (η = 1), the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound remain constant under the channel, indicating that decoherence is completely suppressed. A comparison of Markovian channel with non-Markovian channel reveals that the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound exhibit oscillatory behaviour under non-Markovian channels. The combination of correlations and non-Markovianity of the channel demonstrates that the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound can be reduced under fully correlated channels where the non-Markovianity has no effect. This is because fully correlated channels suppress decoherence to a greatest extent. Under partially correlated channels, the combination of correlations and non-Markovianity can more effectively reduce the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound. Under such channels, correlations of the channel reduce the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound during the whole evolution, while the non-Markovianity contributes to their oscillations and reduce them in some specific time. Furthermore, the results show that the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound reach steady values that depend only on the strength of the correlations after long-time evolution. In other words, the stronger the correlations, the lower the entropy uncertainty and its lower bound of steady states will be. Finally, we analyse the physical nature of the decrease of the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound, and it is found that the decrease of the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound originate from the increase of the quantum correlations in the system.
We investigate the dynamical behaviors of quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty and its lower bound in the amplitude-damping channel. The influences of different placement positions of the quantum register on the dynamics of quantum coherence, quantum entanglement, and quantum discord are analyzed in detail. The numerical simulation results show that the quantum register should be placed in the channel of the non-Markovian effect. This option is beneficial to reduce the entropic uncertainty and its lower bound. We also find that this choice does not change the evolution of the quantum coherence and quantum entanglement, but changes the dynamical process of the quantum discord of the system. These results show that quantum coherence, quantum entanglement, and quantum discord are different quantum resources with unique characteristics and properties, and quantum discord can play a key role in reducing the uncertainty of quantum systems.
Abstract The one-qubit teleportation protocol is one of the most well-known topics of quantum information theory. Indeed, the goal of this quantum protocol is to teleport an arbitrary quantum state. Herein, we investigate the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory (EUR-QM), quantum discord (QD), and fidelity of teleportation under dephasing, dissipative, and noisy environments. We relate the EUR-QM to QD and quantum teleportation and show analytically that there is a fully anti-correlated relation between QD and entropic uncertainty in a dephasing environment. In the process of our analysis, we also find an explicit relationship between the average fidelity of teleportation and the entropic uncertainty of the channel state. Significantly, the results report that the fidelity of teleportation and QD of the channel state are more stable and most efficiently under the influence of a dephasing environment than those under the influence of a dissipative or noisy environment. It turns out that under a dephasing environment, these results can be vital in practical goals where the maximum fidelity of teleportation and minimum uncertainty are required such as in quantum teleportation protocols and quantum computation.
Abstract In this work, we investigate the dynamics of quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) and quantum correlation quantified by entropic discord and geometric discord within the Markovian reservoir and non-Markovian reservoir. Particularly, when the initial state is a pure sate or mixed state the EUR gradually increases during the evolution at first, but subsequently tends to stable in the long-time limit. On other hand, for the separable state the EUR almost keeps constant. In contrast, quantum discord decay asymptotically to zero for all types of initial states. As an application, we prove that both two quantum discords witnessed by the EUR are determined by the version of discord chosen, which regardless of the reservoir.
The entropic uncertainty relation imposes a limit on the accuracy of measurement outcomes of two conjugate observables, which can be reduced in the presence of quantum memory. We theoretically study the dynamical behaviors of the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for a bipartite system under local nonequilibrium dephasing environments and a common nonequilibrium dephasing environment. Particularly, we study the influence of the competition between nonequilibrium and non-Markovianity in controlling the entropic uncertainty bound (EUB) in weak- and strong-coupling regimes. We find that the nonequilibrium nature renders a promising protocol to efficiently harness the EUB in both regimes without requiring any operations on the main system. Further, we reveal that the EUB can be significantly reduced in a common bath case compared to the case of local baths. Moreover, we elucidate the primary factor responsible for governing the dynamical behaviors of EUB by examining the interplay between quantum discord and the minimal missing information about the particle to be measured. In addition, we investigate the state preparation and measurement choice (SPMC) condition in both environmental setups with weak- and strong-coupling regimes. Remarkably, we show that the SPMC condition does not hold in the common environment scenario.
We investigate the dynamics of entropic uncertainty relations, tightness, and concurrence in two non-interacting qubits produced in the Werner state and subjected to classical channels. In two contexts, common and independent qubit-noise configurations, a Gaussian Ornstein Uhlenbeck process is used to control the noisy effects of the local external fields. Using parameter optimization, we establish long-term stability in two qubits while reducing the environment's disorder entropic impact and maintaining entanglement. Using entropic uncertainty relations, tightness and concurrence, we show that in the presence of Ornstein Uhlenbeck noise, two-qubit coherence and entanglement in local fields are both weak and readily lost. Despite this, longer entanglement and lower entropy can be predicted within a limited range of the noise parameter and the purity estimator of the two-qubit state. Furthermore, the measured rate of entropy rise outpaces the rate of disentanglement generation. In addition, we also utilized the tightness measure to estimate the uncertainty in the dynamics of bipartite entropic relations.
