The uncertainty principle sets lower bound on the uncertainties of two incompatible observables measured on a particle. The uncertainty lower bound can be reduced by considering a particle as a quantum memory entangled with the measured particle. In this paper, we consider a tripartite scenario in which a quantum state has been shared between Alice, Bob, and Charlie. The aim of Bob and Charlie is to minimize Charlies lower bound about Alices measurement outcomes. To this aim, they concentrate their correlation with Alice in Charlies side via a cooperative strategy based on local operations and classical communication. We obtain lower bound for Charlies uncertainty about Alices measurement outcomes after concentrating information and compare it with the lower bound without concentrating information in some examples. We also provide a physical interpretation of the entropic uncertainty lower bound based on the dense coding capacity.
The uncertainty principle is a fundamental principle in quantum physics. It implies that the measurement outcomes of two incompatible observables can not be predicted simultaneously. In quantum information theory, this principle can be expressed in terms of entropic measures. Berta emph{et al}. [href{http://www.nature.com/doifinder/10.1038/nphys1734}{ Nature Phys. 6, 659 (2010) }] have indicated that uncertainty bound can be altered by considering a particle as a quantum memory correlating with the primary particle. In this article, we obtain a lower bound for entropic uncertainty in the presence of a quantum memory by adding an additional term depending on Holevo quantity and mutual information. We conclude that our lower bound will be tighten with respect to that of Berta emph{et al.}, when the accessible information about measurements outcomes is less than the mutual information of the joint state. Some examples have been investigated for which our lower bound is tighter than the Bertas emph{et al.} lower bound. Using our lower bound, a lower bound for the entanglement of formation of bipartite quantum states has obtained, as well as an upper bound for the regularized distillable common randomness.
The limitation on obtaining precise outcomes of measurements performed on two non-commuting observables of a particle as set by the uncertainty principle in its entropic form, can be reduced in the presence of quantum memory. We derive a new entropic uncertainty relation based on fine- graining, which leads to an ultimate limit on the precision achievable in measurements performed on two incompatible observables in the presence of quantum memory. We show that our derived uncertainty relation tightens the lower bound set by entropic uncertainty for members of the class of two-qubit states with maximally mixed marginals, while accounting for the recent experimental results using maximally entangled pure states and mixed Bell-diagonal states. An implication of our uncertainty relation on the security of quantum key generation protocols is pointed out.
The uncertainty principle is one of the most important issues that clarify the distinction between classical and quantum theory. This principle sets a bound on our ability to predict the measurement outcome of two incompatible observables precisely. Uncertainty principle can be formulated via Shannon entropies of the probability distributions of measurement outcome of the two observables. It has shown that the entopic uncertainty bound can be improved by considering an additional particle as the quantum memory $B$ which has correlation with the measured particle $A$. In this work we consider the memory assisted entropic uncertainty for the case in which the quantum memory and measured particle are topological qubits. In our scenario the topological quantum memory $B$, is considered as an open quantum system which interacts with its surrounding. The motivation for this model is associated with the fact that the basis of the memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation is constructed on the correlation between quantum memory $B$ and measured particle $A$. In the sense that, Bob who holds the quantum memory $B$ can predict Alices measurement results on particle $A$ more accurately, when the amount of correlation between $A$ and $B$ is great. Here, we want to find the influence of environmental effects on uncertainty bound while the quantum memory interacts with its surrounding. In this work we will consider Ohmic-like Fermionic and Bosonic environment. We have also investigate the effect of the Fermionic and Bosonic environment on the lower bounds of the amount of the key that can be extracted per state by Alice and Bob for quantum key distribution protocols.
The uncertainty principle is an important principle in quantum theory. Based on this principle, it is impossible to predict the measurement outcomes of two incompatible observables, simultaneously. Uncertainty principle basically is expressed in terms of the standard deviation of the measured observables. In quantum information theory, it is shown that the uncertainty principle can be expressed by Shannons entropy. The entopic uncertainty lower bound can be altered by considering a particle as the quantum memory which is correlated with the measured particle. We assume that the quantum memory is an open system. We also select the quantum memory from $N$ qubit which interact with common reservoir. In this work we investigate the effects of the number of additional qubits in reservoir on entropic uncertainty lower bound. We conclude that the entropic uncertainty lower bound can be protected from decoherence by increasing the number of additional qubit in reservoir.
The sum of entropic uncertainties for the measurement of two non-commuting observables is not always reduced by the amount of entanglement (quantum memory) between two parties, and in certain cases may be impacted by quantum correlations beyond entanglement (discord). An optimal lower bound of entropic uncertainty in the presence of any correlations may be determined by fine-graining. Here we express the uncertainty relation in a new form where the maximum possible reduction of uncertainty is shown to be given by the extractable classical information. We show that the lower bound of uncertainty matches with that using fine-graining for several examples of two-qubit pure and mixed entangled states, and also separable states with non-vanishing discord. Using our uncertainty relation we further show that even in the absence of any quantum correlations between the two parties, the sum of uncertainties may be reduced with the help of classical correlations.
