Uncertainty Relations and Mutually Unbiased Bases PDF Print E-mail
Description

The uncertainty principle is one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. Since Heisenberg's 1927 paper numerous mathematical formulations as uncertainty relations have been found; the entropic versions being the truly information theoretic ones. These relations, the strongest known due to Maassen and Uffink, also have striking quantum information and cryptography applications, and in this project we will aim to extend these results beyond the case of two observables, which has barely been attempted until now.
