Optimal upper bound of entropic uncertainty relation for mutually unbiased bases

Quantum Physics 2021-08-18 v2

Abstract

We have obtained the optimal upper bound of entropic uncertainty relation for NN Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs). We have used the methods of variational calculus for the states that can be written in terms of NN MUBs. Our result is valid for any state when NN is d+1d+1, where dd is the dimension of the related system. We provide a quantitative criterion for the extendibilty of MUBs. In addition, we have applied our result to the mutual information of d+1d+1 observables conditioned with a classical memory.
