Limits on entropic uncertainty relations for 3 and more MUBs
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider entropic uncertainty relations for outcomes of the measurements of a quantum state in 3 or more mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), chosen from the standard construction of MUBs in prime dimension. We show that, for any choice of 3 MUBs and at least one choice of a larger number of MUBs, the best possible entropic uncertainty relation can be only marginally better than the one that trivially follows from the relation by Maassen and Uffink (PRL, 1987) for 2 bases.

A transform of complementary aspects with applications to entropic uncertainty relations
Even though mutually unbiased bases and entropic uncertainty relations play an important role in quantum cryptographic protocols, they remain ill understood. Here, we construct special sets of up to 2n+1 mutually unbiased bases MUBs in dimension d=2n, which have particularly beautiful symmetry properties derived from the Clifford algebra. More precisely, we show that there exists a unitary tran...
متن کاملUnextendible mutually unbiased bases from Pauli C\classes
We provide a construction of sets of d/2 + 1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in dimensions d = 4, 8 using maximal commuting classes of Pauli operators. We show that these incomplete sets cannot be extended further using the operators of the Pauli group. What is more, specific examples of sets of MUBs obtained using our construction are shown to be strongly unextendible; that is, there does not e...
متن کاملEntropic Uncertainty Relations in Quantum Physics
Uncertainty relations have become the trademark of quantum theory since they were formulated by Bohr and Heisenberg. This review covers various generalizations and extensions of the uncertainty relations in quantum theory that involve the Rényi and the Shannon entropies. The advantages of these entropic uncertainty relations are pointed out and their more direct connection to the observed pheno...
متن کاملEntropic uncertainty relations—a survey
Uncertainty relations play a central role in quantum mechanics. Entropic uncertainty relations in particular have gained significant importance within quantum information, providing the foundation for the security of many quantum cryptographic protocols. Yet, little is known about entropic uncertainty relations with more than two measurement settings. In the present survey, we review known resu...
متن کاملEntropic uncertainty relations for multiple measurements
We present the entropic uncertainty relations for multiple measurement settings which demonstrate the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. Those uncertainty relations are obtained for both cases with and without the presence of quantum memory, and can be proven by a unified method. Our results recover some well known entropic uncertainty relations for two observables, which show the unce...
