1203.3331 (Z. Y. Xu et al.)

Quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty principle under noise    [PDF]

Z. Y. Xu, W. L. Yang, M. Feng
The measurement outcomes of two incompatible observables on a particle can be precisely predicted when it is maximally entangled with a quantum memory, as quantified recently [Nature Phys. 6, 659 (2010)]. We explore the behavior of the uncertainty relation under the influence of local unital and nonunital noisy channels. While the unital noises only increase the amount of uncertainty, the amplitude-damping nonunital noises may amazingly reduce the amount of uncertainty in the long-time limit. This counterintuitive phenomenon could be justified by different competitive mechanisms between quantum correlations and the minimal missing information after local measurement.
