Distinct Bound of the Quantum Speed Limit via the Gauge Invariant Distance
1School of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China.
Abstract:
We derive a distinct bound of the quantum speed limit for a non-Hermitian quantum system by employing the gauge invariant and geometric natures of quantum mechanics. The bound is of geometric properties since it relates to the geometric phase of the quantum system, and it is tighter than the Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin bounds in some cases. Also, by making the geodesic assumption, the analog of the Margolus-Levitin bound is derived for the time-dependent (non-)Hermitian quantum system. These two bounds reflect the impacts of the transmission modes of the state vectors on the evolution path in the manifold.
