1107.5929 (N. D. Hari Dass et al.)

Minimum Uncertainty and Entanglement    [PDF]

N. D. Hari Dass, Tabish Qureshi, Aditi Sheel
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 for position and momentum, the equality of the uncertainty relation cannot be reached for entangled states. It cannot be reached for any two noncommuting observables, for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces if the Schmidt rank of the entangled state is maximal, barring the trivial cases of uncertainties in both the observables being zero. As a consequence, the lower bound of the uncertainty relation can never be attained for any two observables for qubits, if the state is entangled.
