Correlation coefficients and Robertson-Schroedinger uncertainty relations

چکیده

Calling the quantity; 2ΔAΔB/|<[A, B]>|, with non-zero denominator, the uncertainty product ratio or UPR for the pair of observables, (A, B), it is shown that any non-zero correlation coefficient between two observables raises, above unity, the lower bound of the UPR for each member of an infinite collection of pairs of incompatible observables. Conversely, any UPR is subject to lower bounds above unity determined by each of an infinite collection of correlation coefficients. This result generalizes the well known Schroedinger strengthening of the Robertson uncertainty relations (with the former expressed in terms of the correlation coefficient rather than the anticommutator) where the UPR and the correlation coefficient both involve the same pair of observables. Two, independent, derivations of the result are presented to clarify its’ origins and some examples of its’ use are examined.

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...

It is explicitly shown that there exist physical states (normalized to 1) in which the Robertson-Schrödinger and Heisenberg uncertainty relations are invalid , namely, the mean values of the physical operators are infinite. Consequently , these relations cannot imply a general physical principle. The explanation by the theory of functional analysis is given : for these states even the definitio...

Tight State-Independent Uncertainty Relations for Qubits

The well-known Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty relations have state-dependent lower bounds, which are trivial for certain states. We present a general approach to deriving tight state-independent uncertainty relations for qubit measurements that completely characterise the obtainable uncertainty values. This approach can give such relations for any number of observables, and we do so explicit...

ul 2 00 3 On the uncertainty relations for angular observables and beyond them

For angular observables pairs (angular momentum-angle and number-phase) the adequate reference element of normality is not the Robertson-Schrödinger uncertainty relation but a Schwarz formula regarding the quantum fluctuations. Beyond such a fact the traditional interpretation of the uncertainty relations appears as an unjustified doctrine.

The three ways of generalization of canonical coherent states are briefly reviewed and compared with the emphasis laid on the (minimum) uncertainty way. The characteristic uncertainty relations, which include the Schrödinger and Robertson inequalities, are extended to the case of several states. It is shown that the standard SU (1, 1) and SU (2) coherent states are the unique states which minim...
