Improvement of Uncertainty Relations for Mixed States

چکیده

We study a possible improvement of uncertainty relations. The Heisenberg uncertainty relation employs commutator of a pair of conjugate observables to set the limit of quantum measurement of the observables. The Schrödinger uncertainty relation improves the Heisenberg uncertainty relation by adding the correlation in terms of anti-commutator. However both relations are insensitive whether the state used is pure or mixed. We improve the uncertainty relations by introducing additional terms which measure the mixtureness of the state. For the momentum and position operators as conjugate observables and for the thermal state of quantum harmonic oscillator, it turns out that the equalities in the improved uncertainty relations hold.

Rényi Entropy and the Uncertainty Relations

Quantum mechanical uncertainty relations for the position and the momentum and for the angle and the angular momentum are expressed in the form of inequalities involving the Rényi entropies. These uncertainty relations hold not only for pure but also for mixed states. Analogous uncertainty relations are valid also for a pair of complementary observables (the analogs of x and p) in N-level syste...

Remarks on the Extended Characteristic Uncertainty Relations

In the recent papers [1, 2] the conventional uncertainty relation (UR) of Robertson [5] (which includes the Heisenberg and Schrödinger UR [4] as its particular cases) have been extended to all characteristic coefficients of the uncertainty matrix [2] and to the case of several states [1]. In this letter we present three remarks on these extended characteristic URs. The first remark refers to th...

مطالعه نیمه‌کلاسیکی چند رابطه جابه‌جاگری تعمیم‌یافته

  Our aim in this paper is to find the observable effects of the generalized commutators. For this purpose we investigate two problems in quantum mechanics with minimal length procedure. Firstly, we study hydrogen atom energy levels via minimal length uncertainty relation algebra. From comparing our results, with experimental data we estimate an upper limit for minimal length. Secondly, we inve...
