Classical-Information Theoretical View of Physical Measurements and Generalized Uncertainty Relations

Quantum Physics 2012-12-18 v3 Classical Physics

Abstract

General characterization of physical measurements is discussed within the framework of a classical information theory. Uncertainty relation for simultaneous measurements of two physical observables is defined in this framework for generalized dynamic systems controlled under general kinds of equations of motion. We have treated only a mean-square error of the Gauss(-like) distributions in this report. Lessening of the Kennard-Robertson type uncertainties due to boundary conditions are quantitatively discussed using the information entropy.
