• Abstract: Quantum asymmetry and coherence are genuinely quantum resources that are essential to realize quantum advantage in information technologies. However, all quantum processes are fundamentally constrained by quantum speed limits, which raises the question on the corresponding bounds on the rate of consumption of asymmetry and coherence. In the present work, we derive a formulation of the quantum speed limit for observables in terms of the trace-norm asymmetry of the time-dependent quantum state relative to the observable. This version of the quantum speed limit can be shown to be directly relevant in weak measurements and quantum metrology. It can be further related to quantum coherence relative to the observable, and we obtain a complementary relation for the speed of three mutually unbiased observables for a single qubit. As an application, we derive a notion of a quantum thermodynamic speed limit.

  Inspired by the energy-time uncertainty principle, bounds have been demonstrated on the maximal speed at which a quantum state can change. We show that one can test the known quantum speed limits and that modifying a single Hamiltonian parameter allows the observation of the crossover of the different bounds on the dynamics.

  We extend the notion of quantum speed limits to collections of quantum states. For two-qubit systems, we show that the fastest transformation implements two Hadamards and a swap of the qubits simultaneously. For qutrit systems the evolution time depends on the particular type of the unbiased basis.

  We prove a new quantum speed limit using the tighter uncertainty relations for pure quantum systems undergoing arbitrary unitary evolution. We show that the MT bound is a special case of the tighter quantum speed limit derived here. We illustrate the tighter speed limit for pure states with examples using random Hamiltonians and show that the new quantum speed limit outperforms the MT bound.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  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.
