A Mixed-Entropic Uncertainty Relation

We highlight the advantages of using simultaneously the Shannon and Fisher information measures in providing a useful form of the uncertainty relation for the position-momentum case. It does not require any Fourier transformation. The sensitivity is also noteworthy.

A quantum uncertainty relation based on Fisher's information

Pablo Sánchez-Moreno, Angel Ricardo Plastino, J. S. Dehesa

We explore quantum uncertainty relations involving the Fisher information functionals I x and I p evaluated, respectively, on a wavefunction Ψ( x ) defined on a D -dimensional configuration space and the concomitant wavefunction on the conjugate momentum space. We prove that the associated Fisher functionals obey the uncertainty relation I x I p ⩾ 4 D 2 when either Ψ( x ) or is real. On the other hand, there is no lower bound to the above product for arbitrary complex wavefunctions. We give explicit examples of complex wavefunctions not obeying the above bound. In particular, we provide a parametrized wavefunction for which the product I x I p can be made arbitrarily small.

Uncertainty relation for Fisher information of D-dimensional single-particle systems with central potentials

E. Romera, Pablo Sánchez-Moreno, J. S. Dehesa

An uncertainty Fisher information relation in quantum mechanics is derived for multidimensional single-particle systems with central potentials. It is based on the concept of Fisher information in the two complementary position and momentum spaces, which is a gradient functional of the corresponding probability distributions. The lower bound of the product of position and momentum Fisher informations is shown to depend on the orbital and magnetic quantum numbers of the physical state and the space dimensionality. Applications to various elementary systems is discussed.

Uncertainty relations from fisher information

J. [Rcirc]eháĉek, Z. Hradil

Heisenberg uncertainty relations yield sometimes rather trivial statements. For instance, the uncertainty of the transversal momentum of a particle behind a rectangular slit is infinite, which yields ∞.Δχh/2. Motivated by the estimation theory we will show that a “good” uncertainty relation can be recovered provided one gives the uncertainties a slightly different meaning. This elementary example will also hint at the importance of the information theory for the quantum physics.

Uncertainty relations for quantum particles

Σπυρίδων Κεχριμπάρης

The focus of the present investigation is uncertainty relations for quantum particles, which quantify the fundamental limitations on some of their properties due to their incompatibility. In the first, longer part, we are concerned with preparational uncertainty \nrelations, while in the second we touch upon measurement inequalities through a generalisation of a model of joint measurement of position and momentum. \nSpecifically, starting from a triple of canonical operators, we prove product and sum inequalities for their variances with bounds larger than those following from combining the pairwise ones. We extend these results to N observables for a quantum particle and prove uncertainty relations for the sums and products of their variances \nin terms of the commutators. \nFurthermore, we present a general theory of preparational uncertainty relations for a quantum particle in one dimension and derive conditions for a smooth function of the second moments to assume a lower bound. The Robertson-Schroedinger inequality \nis found to be of special significance and we geometrically study the space of second moments. We prove new uncertainty relations for various functions of the variances and covariance of position and momentum of a quantum particle. Some of our findings are shown to extend to more than one spatial degree of freedom and we derive \nvarious types of inequalities. \nFinally, we propose a generalisation of the Arthurs-Kelly model of joint measurement of position and momentum to incorporate the case of more than two observables and derive joint-measurement inequalities for the statistics of the probes. For the case of \nthree canonical observables and suitable definitions of error and disturbance we obtain a number of error-error-error and error-error-disturbance inequalities and show that the lower bound is identical to the preparational one.
