Summary

Standard SU(1, 1) coherent states uniquely minimize Schrödinger and Robertson uncertainty relations. These uncertainty inequalities are extended to multiple states and shown to have complementary forms.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum optics

Background:

  • Uncertainty relations quantify the fundamental limits on the precision of simultaneously measured pairs of physical properties.
  • Squeezed states are quantum states that exhibit reduced uncertainty in one observable at the expense of increased uncertainty in a conjugate observable.
  • Canonical coherent states and SU(1, 1) coherent states are important classes of quantum states with applications in quantum information and metrology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare characteristic uncertainty relations and their associated squeezed states.
  • To investigate the role of different definitions of canonical coherent states in minimizing uncertainty relations.
  • To generalize uncertainty inequalities to multiple states and explore their complementary forms.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of generalized definitions of canonical coherent states.
  • Analysis of the minimization of Schrödinger and Robertson uncertainty relations for SU(1, 1) coherent states.
  • Extension of uncertainty inequalities to multi-state systems.

    • Main Results:

    • The standard SU(1, 1) coherent states are identified as the unique states that minimize the Schrödinger uncertainty relation for all three generators.
    • These states also uniquely minimize the Robertson uncertainty relation for the three generators.
    • Uncertainty inequalities are successfully extended to the case of several states.
    • The extended inequalities are shown to be expressible in an equivalent complementary form.

    Conclusions:

    • The standard SU(1, 1) coherent states play a crucial role in minimizing fundamental quantum uncertainty relations.
    • The generalization of uncertainty inequalities to multiple states provides a more comprehensive understanding of quantum correlations.
    • The complementary form of these inequalities offers new perspectives on the trade-offs inherent in quantum measurements.
