• Abstract summary: The quantum rotor represents the next obvious quantum system to study the complementary pair of variables: the angular momentum and the unitary shift operator in angular momentum. We argue that the model of quantum rotor extends beyond its mechanical meaning with promising applications in the fields of singular optics, super-conductive circuits with a Josephson junction or optimal pulse shaping in the time-frequency domain.

• Abstract: The quantum rotor represents, after the harmonic oscillator, the next obvious quantum system to study the complementary pair of variables: the angular momentum and the unitary shift operator in angular momentum. Proper quantification of uncertainties and the incompatibility of these two operators are thus essential for applications of rotor-like quantum systems. While angular momentum uncertainty is characterized by variance, several uncertainty measures have been proposed for the shift operator, with dispersion the simplest example. We establish a hierarchy of those measures and corresponding uncertainty relations which are all perfectly or almost perfectly saturated by a tomographically complete set of von Mises states. Building on the interpretation of dispersion as the moment of inertia of the unit ring we then show that the other measures also possess the same mechanical interpretation. This unifying perspective allows us to express all measures as a particular instance of a single generic angular uncertainty measure. The importance of these measures is then highlighted by applying the simplest two of them to derive optimal simultaneous measurements of the angular momentum and the shift operator. Finally, we argue that the model of quantum rotor extends beyond its mechanical meaning with promising applications in the fields of singular optics, super-conductive circuits with a Josephson junction or optimal pulse shaping in the time-frequency domain. Our findings lay the groundwork for quantum-information and metrological applications of the quantum rotor and point to its interdisciplinary nature.
