• Authors: Oleg Kabernik
• Abstract summary: We study the associated probabilities that quantify the effects of the uncertainty principle in the framework of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics on a lattice. We show that these probabilities are perturbed by the granularity of the lattice and show that they can signal the discontinuity of the underlying space.

• Abstract: It is well known that, due to the uncertainty principle, the Planck constant sets a resolution boundary in phase space and the resulting trade-off in resolution between incompatible measurements has been thoroughly investigated. It is also known that, in the classical regime, sufficiently coarse measurements of position and momentum can simultaneously be determined. However, the picture of how the uncertainty principle gradually disappears as we transition from the quantum to the classical regime is not so vivid. In the present work we clarify this picture by studying the associated probabilities that quantify the effects of the uncertainty principle in the framework of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics on a lattice. We also study how these probabilities are perturbed by the granularity of the lattice and show that they can signal the discontinuity of the underlying space.

• The generalized uncertainty principle within the ordinary framework of quantum mechanics [0.0]
  A proper deformation of the underlying coordinate and momentum commutation relations in quantum mechanics accounts for the influence of gravity on small scales. Introducing the squared momentum term results in a generalized uncertainty principle, which limits the minimum uncertainty in particle position to the Planck length. It is shown that the deformed algebra of position and momentum operators can be incorporated into the framework of ordinary quantum mechanics.

  We will use the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory. The effects of the detuning between the transition frequency of a quantum memory and the center frequency of a cavity on entrpic uncertainty bound and quantum correlation between quantum memory and measured particle will be studied.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.

  We aim to shed some light on the quantum-to-classical transition as seen through the analysis of uncertainty relations. We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.
