The uncertainty relation for continuous variables due to Byalinicki-Birula and Mycielski expresses the complementarity between two $n$-uples of canonically conjugate variables $(x_1,x_2,cdots x_n)$ and $(p_1,p_2,cdots p_n)$ in terms of Shannon differential entropy. Here, we consider the generalization to variables that are not canonically conjugate and derive an entropic uncertainty relation expressing the balance between any two $n$-variable Gaussian projective measurements. The bound on entropies is expressed in terms of the determinant of a matrix of commutators between the measured variables. This uncertainty relation also captures the complementarity between any two incompatible linear canonical transforms, the bound being written in terms of the corresponding symplectic matrices in phase space. Finally, we extend this uncertainty relation to Renyi entropies and also prove a covariance-based uncertainty relation which generalizes Robertson relation.

Quantum uncertainty relations are formulated in terms of relative entropy between distributions of measurement outcomes and suitable reference distributions with maximum entropy. This type of entropic uncertainty relation can be applied directly to o bservables with either discrete or continuous spectra. We find that a sum of relative entropies is bounded from above in a nontrivial way, which we illustrate with some examples.
We define an uncertainty observable, acting on several replicas of a continuous-variable bosonic state, whose trivial uncertainty lower bound induces nontrivial phase-space uncertainty relations for a single copy of the state. By exploiting the Schwi nger representation of angular momenta in terms of bosonic operators, we construct such an observable that is invariant under symplectic transformations (rotation and squeezing in phase space). We first design a two-copy uncertainty observable, which is a discrete-spectrum operator vanishing with certainty if and only if it is applied on (two copies of) any pure Gaussian state centered at the origin. The non-negativity of its variance translates into the Schrodinger-Robertson uncertainty relation. We then extend our construction to a three-copy uncertainty observable, which exhibits additional invariance under displacements (translations in phase space) so that it vanishes on every pure Gaussian state. The resulting invariance under Gaussian unitaries makes this observable a natural tool to measure the phase-space uncertainty -- or the deviation from pure Gaussianity -- of continuous-variable bosonic states. In particular, it suggests that the Shannon entropy of this observable provides a symplectic-invariant entropic measure of uncertainty in position and momentum phase space.
We derive new inequalities for the probabilities of projective measurements in mutually unbiased bases of a qudit system. These inequalities lead to wider ranges of validity and tighter bounds on entropic uncertainty inequalities previously derived in the literature.
In the history of quantum mechanics, various types of uncertainty relationships have been introduced to accommodate different operational meanings of Heisenberg uncertainty principle. We derive an optimized entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) that qu antifies an amount of quantum uncertainty in the scenario of successive measurements. The EUR characterizes the limitation in the measurability of two different quantities of a quantum state when they are measured through successive measurements. We find that the bound quantifies the information between the two measurements and imposes a condition that is consistent with the recently-derived error-disturbance relationship.

In the framework of the generalized uncertainty principle, the position and momentum operators obey the modified commutation relation $[X,P]=ihbarleft(1+beta P^2right)$ where $beta$ is the deformation parameter. Since the validity of the uncertainty relation for the Shannon entropies proposed by Beckner, Bialynicki-Birula, and Mycieslki (BBM) depends on both the algebra and the used representation, we show that using the formally self-adjoint representation, i.e., $X=x$ and $P=tanleft(sqrt{beta}pright)/sqrt{beta}$ where $[x,p]=ihbar$, the BBM inequality is still valid in the form $S_x+S_pgeq1+lnpi$ as well as in ordinary quantum mechanics. We explicitly indicate this result for the harmonic oscillator in the presence of the minimal length.
