Experimental test of error-disturbance uncertainty relations by weak measurement.
We experimentally test the error-disturbance uncertainty relation (EDR) in generalized, strength-variable measurement of a single photon polarization qubit, making use of weak measurement that keeps the initial signal state practically unchanged. We demonstrate that the Heisenberg EDR is violated, yet the Ozawa and Branciard EDRs are valid throughout the range of our measurement strength.
متن کاملColloquium: Quantum root-mean-square error and measurement uncertainty relations
Recent years have witnessed a controversy over Heisenberg’s famous error-disturbance relation. Here we resolve the conflict by way of an analysis of the possible conceptualizations of measurement error and disturbance in quantum mechanics. We discuss two approaches to adapting the classic notion of root-mean-square error to quantum measurements. One is based on the concept of noise operator; it...
متن کاملMeasurement uncertainty relations
Measurement uncertainty relations are quantitative bounds on the errors in an approximate joint measurement of two observables. They can be seen as a generalization of the error/disturbance tradeoff first discussed heuristically by Heisenberg. Here we prove such relations for the case of two canonically conjugate observables like position and momentum, and establish a close connection with the ...
متن کاملMeasuring measurement–disturbance relationships with weak values
Using formal definitions for the measurement precision and the disturbance (measurement back-action) η, Ozawa (2003 Phys. Rev. A 67 042105) has shown that Heisenberg’s claimed relation between these quantities is false in general. Here, we show that the quantities introduced by Ozawa can be determined experimentally, using no prior knowledge of the measurement under investigation—both quantitie...
متن کاملError-tradeoff and error-disturbance relations for incompatible quantum measurements.
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is one of the main tenets of quantum theory. Nevertheless, and despite its fundamental importance for our understanding of quantum foundations, there has been some confusion in its interpretation: Although Heisenberg's first argument was that the measurement of one observable on a quantum state necessarily disturbs another incompatible observable, standard unc...
