• Abstract: We point out that the Gaussian wave-packet formalism can serve as a concrete realization of the joint measurement of position and momentum, which is an essential element in understanding Heisenberg's original philosophy of the uncertainty principle, in line with the universal framework of error, disturbance, and their uncertainty relations developed by Lee and Tsutsui. We show that our joint measurement in the Gaussian phase space, being a Positive Operator-Valued Measure (POVM) measurement, smoothly interpolates between the projective measurements of position and momentum. We, for the first time, have obtained the Lee-Tsutsui (LT) error and the refined Lee error for the position-momentum measurement. We find that the LT uncertainty relation becomes trivial, $0=0$, in the limiting case of projective measurement of either position or momentum. Remarkably, in contrast to the LT relation, the refined Lee uncertainty relation, which assesses errors for local representability, provides a constant lower bound unaffected by these limits and is invariably saturated, for a pure Gaussian initial state. The obtained lower bound is in agreement with Heisenberg's value.

• Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
  Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements. This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance. However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

  We focus on characterizing the variance over values induced by a distribution over MDPs. Previous work upper bounds the posterior variance over values by solving a so-called uncertainty Bellman equation. We propose a new uncertainty Bellman equation whose solution converges to the true posterior variance over values.

We illustrate that such states are close to the optimal ones even with moderate losses.

• Linear simultaneous measurements of position and momentum with minimum error-trade-off in each minimum uncertainty state [0.0]
  Heisenberg's uncertainty relations are the most famous of them but are not universally valid and violated in general. We show that an error-trade-off relation (ETR), called the Branciard-Ozawa ETR, for simultaneous measurements of position and momentum gives the achievable bound in minimum uncertainty states.

We show the theorem that gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a linear position measurement to achieve its lower bound in a minimum uncertainty state. It is expected to construct measurements with minimum error-disturbance in a broader class of states in the future.

  We find a correspondence relationship between the inaccuracy of a measurement for estimating the unknown parameter with the measurement error. For pure quantum states, this tradeoff relation is tight, so it can reveal the true quantum limits on individual estimation errors. We show that our approach can be readily used to derive the tradeoff between the errors of jointly estimating the phase shift and phase diffusion.

We propose a new localization uncertainty estimation method called UAD for anchor-free object detection. Our method captures the uncertainty in four directions of box offsets that are homogeneous, so that it can tell which direction is uncertain.
