• Authors: Ryota Katsube, Masanao Ozawa, Masahiro Hotta,
• Abstract summary: We show that the achievable accuracy of measurements and unitary operations are generally limited by conservation laws. We present a lower bound for the error of a quantum measurement using a scattering process satisfying the energy conservation law. We also show the quantitative relationship between the upper bound of the gate fidelity of a controlled unitary gate and the energy fluctuation of systems.

• Abstract: It is important to improve the accuracy of quantum measurements and operations both in engineering and fundamental physics. It is known, however, that the achievable accuracy of measurements and unitary operations are generally limited by conservation laws according to the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem (WAY theorem) and its generalizations. Although many researches have extended the WAY theorem quantitatively, most of them, as well as the original WAY theorem, concern only additive conservation laws like the angular momentum conservation law. In this paper, we explore the limitation incurred by the energy conservation law, which is universal but is one of the non-additive conservation laws. We present a lower bound for the error of a quantum measurement using a scattering process satisfying the energy conservation law. We obtain conditions that a control system Hamiltonian must fulfill in order to implement a controlled unitary gate with zero error when a scattering process is considered. We also show the quantitative relationship between the upper bound of the gate fidelity of a controlled unitary gate and the energy fluctuation of systems when a target system and a control system are both one qubit.

  A central question since the beginning of quantum information science is how two distant parties can convert one entangled state into another. It has been conjectured that entangled state transformations could be executed reversibly in an regime, mirroring the nature of Carnot cycles in classical thermodynamics. We investigate the concept of an entanglement battery, an auxiliary quantum system that facilitates quantum state transformations without a net loss of entanglement.

  In the classical regime, thermodynamic state transformations are governed by the free energy. In the quantum regime, coherence and free energy are two independent resources. We show that allowing along with a source of free energy allows us to amplify any quantum coherence present in the quantum state arbitrarily.

  We derive a novel fluctuation theorem and the associated second law of information thermodynamics. In our second law, the entropy production is bounded by the coarse-grained entropy production which is inferrable from the measurement outcomes. We illustrate our results by a qubit undergoing discrete and continuous measurement, where our approach provides a useful bound on the entropy production for all measurement strengths.

• Measurement-Based Control for Minimizing Energy Functions in Quantum Systems [0.0]
  In variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) the most common objective is to find the minimum energy eigenstate of a given energy Hamiltonian. We consider the general problem of finding a sufficient control Hamiltonian structure that ensures convergence to the minimum energy eigenstate of a given energy function. By including quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements in the loop, convergence to a pure state can be ensured from an arbitrary mixed initial state.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.
