'Complementarity' in paraxial and non-paraxial optical beams

Abstract

Establishing the correspondence of two dimensional paraxial and three dimensional non-paraxial optical beams with the qubit and qutrit systems respectively, we derive a complementary relation between Hilbert-Schmidt coherence, generalized predictability and linear entropy. The linear entropy, a measure of mixedness is shown to saturate the complementarity relation for mixed bi-partite states. For pure two qubit and qutrit systems, it quantifies the global entanglement and reduces the complementarity relation to the triality relation between coherence, predictability and entanglement. We analyze these relations in wedge-product formalism in order to investigate the innate geometry of the complex vector space. The derived complementary relations offer insights into our ability to manipulate and utilize quantum properties for practical advancements.
