Abstract

Let A1,...,ANA_1,...,A_N be complex selfadjoint matrices and let ρ\rho be a density matrix. The Robertson uncertainty principle det(Covρ(Ah,Aj))det(i2Tr(ρ[Ah,Aj])) det (Cov_\rho(A_h,A_j)) \geq det (- \frac{i}{2} Tr (\rho [A_h,A_j])) gives a bound for the quantum generalized covariance in terms of the commutators [Ah,Aj] [A_h,A_j]. The right side matrix is antisymmetric and therefore the bound is trivial (equal to zero) in the odd case N=2m+1N=2m+1. Let ff be an arbitrary normalized symmetric operator monotone function and let <,>ρ,f<\cdot, \cdot >_{\rho,f} be the associated quantum Fisher information. In this paper we prove the inequality det(Covρ(Ah,Aj))det(f(0)2<i[ρ,Ah],i[ρ,Aj]>ρ,f) det (Cov_\rho (A_h,A_j)) \geq det (\frac{f(0)}{2} < i[\rho, A_h],i[\rho,A_j] >_{\rho,f}) that gives a non-trivial bound for any NNN \in {\mathbb N} using the commutators [ρ,Ah][\rho,A_h].
