An invitation to quantum incompatibility
In the context of a physical theory, two devices, A and B, described by the theory are called
incompatible if the theory does not allow the existence of a third device C that would have …

Experimental violation and reformulation of the Heisenberg's error-disturbance uncertainty relation
The uncertainty principle formulated by Heisenberg in 1927 describes a trade-off between
the error of a measurement of one observable and the disturbance caused on another …

Quantum measurements constrained by the third law of thermodynamics
In the quantum regime, the third law of thermodynamics implies the unattainability of pure
states. As shown recently, such unattainability implies that a unitary interaction between the …

Approximating relational observables by absolute quantities: a quantum accuracy-size trade-off
The notion that any physical quantity is defined and measured relative to a reference frame
is traditionally not explicitly reflected in the theoretical description of physical experiments …

Informationally complete joint measurements on finite quantum systems
We show that there are informationally complete joint measurements of two conjugated
observables on a finite quantum system, meaning that they enable the identification of all …

Measurement uncertainty relations: characterising optimal error bounds for qubits
In standard formulations of the uncertainty principle, two fundamental features are typically
cast as impossibility statements: two noncommuting observables cannot in general both be …

Incompatibility of quantum channels in general probabilistic theories
M Yamada, T Miyadera - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
In quantum theory, sets of operations that cannot be performed simultaneously exist. These
sets of operations are referred to as incompatible. While this definition of incompatibility …

Symplectic geometry of quantum noise
L Polterovich - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014 - Springer
We discuss a quantum counterpart, in the sense of the Berezin–Toeplitz quantization, of
certain constraints on Poisson brackets coming from “hard” symplectic geometry. It turns out …

Random positive operator valued measures
We introduce several notions of random positive operator valued measures (POVMs), and
we prove that some of them are equivalent. We then study statistical properties of the effect …

Convexity and uncertainty in operational quantum foundations
R Takakura - arxiv preprint arxiv:2202.13834, 2022 - arxiv.org
To find the essential nature of quantum theory has been an important problem for not only
theoretical interest but also applications to quantum technologies. In those studies on …
