Uncertainty relations for coherence quantifiers based on the Tsallis relative 1/2-entropies

Abstract

Abstract In quantum information science, systems with incomplete information are typically dealt with. To characterize quantumness from different viewpoints, several kinds of non-classical correlations should be described quantitatively. The concept of coherence within purely quantum framework is currently the subject of active research. A certain attention is paid to coherence quantifiers averaged with respect to a set of quantum ensembles or special measurements. Mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete measurements are important examples. We present uncertainty relations for quantum-coherence quantifiers based on the Tsallis relative 1/2-entropies. Together with mutually unbiased bases, the paper also deals with a measurement built of the states of an equiangular tight frame. The derived inequalities are exemplified with mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete measurement in two dimensions.

Uncertainty Relations for Coherence Quantifiers of the Tsallis Type

Alexey E. Rastegin

Abstract In quantum information theory, one needs to consider systems with incomplete information. To estimate a quantum system as an information resource, one uses various characteristics of non-classical correlations. Currently, much attention is paid to coherence quantifiers averaged over a set of specially selected states. In particular, mutually unbiased bases, symmetric informationally complete measurements, and some of their generalizations are of importance in this regard. The aim of the present study is to derive uncertainty relations for coherence quantifiers based on divergences of the Tsallis type. The obtained inequalities concern quantifiers averaged over a set of mutually unbiased bases and a set of states that form an equiangular tight frame.

Uncertainty relations for quantum coherence with respect to mutually unbiased equiangular tight frames

Alexey E. Rastegin

Abstract The role of quantum coherence as an information resource has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Many protocols of quantum information science deal with specially selected states. Complete sets of mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete measurements are widely used in this regard. Other constructions were found to be useful, including projective designs and equiangular tight frames. As a rule, there are additional restrictions on the probabilities generated by quantum measurements assigned to such sets. Inequalities in terms of coherence quantifiers allow one to examine complementarity with respect to different sets. This study aims to examine uncertainty relations for coherence quantifiers averaged with respect to a set of mutually unbiased equiangular tight frames. To quantify the amount of coherence, quantum coherence quantifiers of the Tsallis type and the geometric coherence are used. The first case is induced by the Tsallis relative entropies. The derived inequalities are exemplified with equiangular tight frames of a ququart.

Uncertainty relations for quantum coherence with respect to mutually unbiased bases

Alexey E. Rastegin

The concept of quantum coherence, including various ways to quantify the degree of coherence with respect to the prescribed basis, is currently the subject of active research. The complementarity of quantum coherence in different bases was studied by deriving upper bounds on the sum of the corresponding measures. To obtain a two-sided estimate, lower bounds on the coherence quantifiers are also of interest. Such bounds are naturally referred to as uncertainty relations for quantum coherence. We obtain new uncertainty relations for coherence quantifiers averaged with respect to a set of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). To quantify the degree of coherence, the relative entropy of coherence and the geometric coherence are used. Further, we also derive novel state-independent uncertainty relations for a set of MUBs in terms of the min-entropy.

Uncertainty relations in terms of generalized entropies derived from information diagrams

Alexey E. Rastegin

Abstract Entropic uncertainty relations are studied from the conceptual viewpoint and in the context of various applications. Providing as tight inequalities as possible is thus an important issue. Measurements of special types are indispensable in quantum information science. Their structure allows us to estimate the index of coincidence. Uncertainty relations follow an estimation of entropies at the given index of coincidence. Relations of such a kind are a known issue in information theory. It concerns links between different information measures. Information diagrams are a tool to study relations between two utilized characteristics. A search for improved inequalities uses the index of coincidence as the abscissa and the entropy of interest as the ordinate. This approach before dealt with standard information functions assigned to the Shannon entropy. But generalized entropies often reveal new links between information measures. This paper applies the method of information diagrams to the Rényi and Tsallis entropies. Such entropies and related information functions have found use in quantum information theory. Improved estimates of the Tsallis and Rényi entropies at the given index of coincidence are obtained. Hence, new entropic uncertainty relations for specific types of measurements follow. They include mutually unbiased bases, symmetric informationally complete measurements, and equiangular tight frames.

Entropic uncertainty relations for measurements assigned to a projective two-design

Alexey E. Rastegin

The current study aims to examine uncertainty relations for quantum measurements assigned to a projective two-design. Complete sets of mutually unbiased bases and symmetric informationally complete measurements are important cases of such measurements. To characterize the amount of uncertainty, we use the Tsallis and Rényi entropies as well as the probabilities of separate outcomes. The obtained results are based on an estimation of the index of coincidence. They improve some uncertainty relations given in the literature.

Quantum uncertainty relations of Tsallis relative α entropy coherence based on MUBs

Fu-Gang Zhang

Abstract In this paper, we discuss quantum uncertainty relations of Tsallis relative α entropy coherence for a single qubit system based on three mutually unbiased bases. For α ∈ 1 2 , 1 ∪ ( 1 , 2 ] , the upper and lower bounds of sums of coherence are obtained. However, the above results cannot be verified directly for any α ∈ 0 , 1 2 . Hence, we only consider the special case of α = 1 n + 1 , where n is a positive integer, and we obtain the upper and lower bounds. By comparing the upper and lower bounds, we find that the upper bound is equal to the lower bound for the special α = 1 2 , and the differences between the upper and the lower bounds will increase as α increases. Furthermore, we discuss the tendency of the sum of coherence, and find that it has the same tendency with respect to the different θ or φ, which is opposite to the uncertainty relations based on the Rényi entropy and Tsallis entropy.
