• Abstract: Unlike the uncertainty relationships of two arbitrary incompatible observables represented by the product of variances in the past, representing them by the sum of variances is better as it guarantees to be nontrivial for two incompatible operators in some special cases. Although the uncertainty relation is formulated as the sum of variances for unitary operators has been confirmed, its general forms for arbitrary non-Hermitian operators have not been yet investigated in detail. Thus, this study develops four sum uncertainty relations for arbitrary non-Hermitian operators acting on system states by utilizing an appropriate Hilbert-space metric. The compatible forms of our sum inequalities with the conventional quantum mechanics are also provided via $G$-metric formalism. Concrete examples demonstrate the validity of the purposed sum uncertainty relations in both $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and $\mathcal{PT}$-broken phases. The proposed methods and results can help the reader to understand in-depth the usefulness of $G$-metric formalism in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics and the sum uncertainty relations of incompatible operators within.

  This note aims to elucidate certain aspects of the quasi-position representation frequently used in the investigation of one-dimensional models. We focus on two key points: (i) Contrary to recent claims, the quasi-position operator can possess physical significance even though it is non-Hermitian, and (ii) in the quasi-position representation, operators associated with the position behave as a derivative operator on the quasi-position coordinate.

• 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.

  In quadratic fermionic models we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after a sudden and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the non-commutativity of the initial quantum state and the time-dependent Hamiltonian. Thanks to the latter, one can assess the onset of non-classical signatures in the KDQ distribution of work.

• Entropic uncertainty relations for mutually unbiased periodic coarse-grained observables resemble their discrete counterparts [0.0]
  In a $d$ dimensional system and two mutually unbiased measurements, the sum of two information entropies is lower bounded by $ln d$. It has recently been shown that projective measurements subject to operational mutual unbiasedness can also be constructed in a continuous domain. Here we consider the whole family of R'enyi entropies applied to these discretized observables and prove that such a scheme does also admit the uncertainty relation mentioned above.
