In its original formulation, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle describes a trade-off relation between the error of a quantum measurement and the thereby induced disturbance on the measured object. However, this relation is not valid in…

We propose an error-disturbance relation for general observables on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces based on operational notions of error and disturbance. For two-dimensional systems we derive tight inequalities expressing the trade-off…

In general, classical measurement statistics of a quantum measurement is disturbed by performing an additional incompatible quantum measurement beforehand. Using this observation, we introduce a state-independent definition of disturbance…
