Classification of incompatibility for two orthonormal bases

Quantum Physics 2022-08-30 v4

Abstract

For two orthonormal bases of a dd-dimensional complex Hilbert space, the notion of complete incompatibility was introduced recently by De Bi\`{e}vre [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 190404 (2021)]. In this work, we introduce the notion of ss-order incompatibility with positive integer ss satisfying 2sd+1.2\leq s\leq d+1. In particular, (d+1)(d+1)-order incompatibility just coincides with the complete incompatibility. We establish some relations between ss-order incompatibility, minimal support uncertainty and rank deficiency of the transition matrix. As an example, we determine the incompatibility order of the discrete Fourier transform with any finite dimension.
