• Abstract: Bohr's complementarity principle has long been a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, positing that, within a given experimental setup, a quantum system (or quanton) can exhibit either its wave-like character, denoted as $W$, or its particle-like character, denoted as $P$, but not both simultaneously. Modern interpretations of Bohr's complementarity principle acknowledge the coexistence of these aspects in the same experiment while introducing the constraint $W + P \le \alpha$. Notably, estimations of $W$ or $P$ frequently rely on indirect retrodiction methods, a practice that has led to the claim of the violation of Bohr's complementarity principle. By taking a different route, recent advancements demonstrate that quantum complementarity relations can be rigorously derived from the axioms of quantum mechanics. To reconcile these observations and eliminate potential paradoxes or violations, we propose an updated formulation for the quantum complementarity principle, which is stated as follows: \textit{For a given quantum state preparation $\rho_t$ at a specific instant of time $t$, the wave and particle behaviors of a quanton are constrained by a complementarity relation $\mathfrak{W}(\rho_t) + \mathfrak{P}(\rho_t) \le \alpha(d)$, which is derived directly from the axioms of quantum mechanics.}

• Non-Heisenbergian quantum mechanics [0.0]
  Relaxing the postulates of an axiomatic theory is a natural way to find more general theories. Here, we use this way to extend quantum mechanics by ignoring the heart of Heisenberg's quantum mechanics. Perhaps surprisingly, this non-Heisenberg quantum theory, without a priori assumption of the non-commutation relation, leads to a modified Heisenberg uncertainty relation.

  Energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries. One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system. We propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm.

We introduce a method to approximate a given target quantum channel by means of variationally approximating equivalent unitaries on an extended system.

  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

• Experimental tests of density matrix's properties-based complementarity relations [0.0]
  Bohr's complementarity principle states that, with a given experimental apparatus configuration, one can observe either the wave-like or the particle-like character of a quantum system, but not both. Recently, a formalism was developed and quantifiers for the particleness and waveness of a quantum system were derived from the mathematical structure of QM. In this article, we perform experimental tests of these complementarity relations applied to a particular class of one-qubit quantum states and also for random quantum states of one, two, and three qubits.

This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
