Entropic uncertainty bound for open pointer-based simultaneous measurements of conjugate observables
arXiv:1503.01633 · doi:10.1088/1751-8113/48/13/135304
Abstract
We discuss the information entropy for a general open pointer-based simultaneous measurement and show how it is bound from below. This entropic uncertainty bound is a direct consequence of the structure of the entropy and can be obtained from the formal solution of the measurement dynamics. Furthermore, the structural properties of the entropy allow us to give an intuitive interpretation of the noisy influence of the pointers and the environmental heat bath on the measurement results.
