Uncertainty relations provide constraints on how well the outcomes of incompatible measurements can be predicted, and, as well as being fundamental to our understanding of quantum theory, they have practical applications such as for…
A prominent formulation of the uncertainty principle identifies the fundamental quantum feature that no particle may be prepared with certain outcomes for both position and momentum measurements. Often the statistical uncertainties are…
We show that for fermion states, measurements of any two finite outcome particle quantum numbers (e.g.\ spin) are not constrained by a minimum total uncertainty. We begin by defining uncertainties in terms of the outputs of a measurement…
We address the question, does a system A being entangled with another system B, put any constraints on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation (or the Schrodinger-Robertson inequality)? We find that the equality of the uncertainty relation…
We study the commutation relations, uncertainty relations and spectra of position and momentum operators within the framework of quantum group % symmetric Heisenberg algebras and their (Bargmann-) Fock representations. As an effect of the…
Introductory courses on quantum mechanics usually include lectures on uncertainty relations, typically the inequality derived by Robertson and, perhaps, other statements. For the benefit of the lecturers, we present a unified approach --…
A smooth function of the second moments of $N$ continuous variables gives rise to an uncertainty relation if it is bounded from below. We present a method to systematically derive such bounds by generalizing an approach applied previously…
Uncertainty relations capture the essence of the inevitable randomness associated with the outcomes of two incompatible quantum measurements. Recently, Berta et al. have shown that the lower bound on the uncertainties of the measurement…
Majorization uncertainty relations are generalized for an arbitrary mixed quantum state $\rho$ of a finite size $N$. In particular, a lower bound for the sum of two entropies characterizing probability distributions corresponding to…
Uncertainty relations for mixed quantum states (precisely, purity-bounded position-momentum relations, developed by Bastiaans and then by Man'ko and Dodonov) are studied in general multi-dimensional case. An expression for family of mixed…
We prove a few novel state-dependent uncertainty relations for product as well the sum of variances of two incompatible observables. These uncertainty relations are shown to be tighter than the Roberson-Schr\"odinger uncertainty relation…
As the fundamental tool in quantum information science, the uncertainty principle is essential for manifesting nonclassical properties of quantum systems. Plenty of efforts on the uncertainty principle with two observables have been…
We discuss the uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics on noncommutative plane. In particular, we show that, for a given state at most one out of three basic nontrivial uncertainty relations can be saturated. We consider also in some…
We study the quantum-mechanical uncertainty relation originating from the successive measurement of two observables $\hat{A}$ and $\hat{B}$, with eigenvalues $a_n$ and $b_m$, respectively, performed on the same system. We use an extension…
Fluctuation theorems are fundamental results in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Considering the fluctuation theorem with respect to the entropy production and an observable, we derive a new thermodynamic uncertainty relation which also…
We study the Schr\"odinger-Robertson uncertainty relations in an algebraic framework. Moreover, we show that some specific commutation relations imply new equalities, which are regarded as equality versions of well-known inequalities such…
A generalized uncertainty relation for an entangled pair of particles is obtained if we impose a symmetrization rule for all operators that we should use when doing any calculation using the entangled wave function of the pair. This new…
Quantum mechanics predicts that measurements of incompatible observables carry a minimum uncertainty which is independent of technical deficiencies of the measurement apparatus or incomplete knowledge of the state of the system. Nothing yet…
We analyze the Schwarz inequality and its generalizations, as well as inequalities resulting from the Jensen inequality. They are used in quantum theory to derive the Heisenberg-Robertson (HR) and Schroedinger-Robertson (SR) uncertainty…
In certain circumstances, the uncertainty, $\Delta S [\phi]$, of a quantum observable, $S$, can be bounded from below by a finite overall constant $\Delta S>0$, \emph{i.e.}, $\Delta S [\phi] \geq \Delta S$, for all physical states $\phi$.…
