Simultaneous minimum-uncertainty measurement of discrete-valued complementary observables
arXiv:quant-ph/0012124 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.4423
Abstract
We have made the first experimental demonstration of the simultaneous minimum uncertainty product between two complementary observables for a two-state system (a qubit). A partially entangled two-photon state was used to perform such measurements. Each of the photons carries (partial) information of the initial state thus leaving a room for measurements of two complementary observables on every member in an ensemble.
