Tight bounds from multiple-observable entropic uncertainty relations

Abstract

We investigate the additivity properties for both bipartite and multipartite systems by using entropic uncertainty relations (EUR) defined in terms of the joint Shannon entropy of probabilities of local measurement outcomes. In particular, we introduce state-independent and state-dependent entropic inequalities. Interestingly, the violation of these inequalities is strictly connected with the presence of quantum correlations. We show that the additivity of EUR holds only for EUR that involve two observables, while this is not the case for inequalities that consider more than two observables or the addition of the von Neumann entropy of a subsystem. We apply them to bipartite systems and to several classes of states of a three-qubit system.
