 Title: Near-optimal variance-based uncertainty relations Authors: Xiao, YunlongJing, NaihuanYu, BingFei, Shao-MingLi-Jost, Xianqing Keywords: Science::Physics Issue Date: 2022 Source: Xiao, Y., Jing, N., Yu, B., Fei, S. & Li-Jost, X. (2022). Near-optimal variance-based uncertainty relations. Frontiers in Physics, 10, 846330-. https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fphy.2022.846330 Project: NRF-NRFF2016-02RG162/19 (S) Journal: Frontiers in Physics Abstract: Learning physical properties of a quantum system is essential for the developments of quantum technologies. However, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle constrains the potential knowledge one can simultaneously have about a system in quantum theory. Aside from its fundamental significance, the mathematical characterization of this restriction, known as uncertainty relation', plays important roles in a wide range of applications, stimulating the formation of tighter uncertainty relations. In this work, we investigate the fundamental limitations of variance-based uncertainty relations, and introduce several near optimal' bounds for incompatible observables. Our results consist of two morphologically distinct phases: lower bounds that illustrate the uncertainties about measurement outcomes, and the upper bound that indicates the potential knowledge we can gain. Combining them together leads to an \emph{uncertainty interval}, which captures the essence of uncertainties in quantum theory. Finally, we have detailed how to formulate lower bounds for product-form variance-based uncertainty relations by employing entropic uncertainty relations, and hence built a link between different forms of uncertainty relations.
