Conservation laws, uncertainty relations, and quantum limits of measurements.
The uncertainty relation between the noise operator and the conserved quantity leads to a bound on the accuracy of general measurements. The bound extends the assertion by Wigner, Araki, and Yanase that conservation laws limit the accuracy of "repeatable," or "nondisturbing," measurements to general measurements, and improves the one previously obtained by Yanase for spin measurements. The boun...
متن کاملQuantum Limits of Measurement and Computing Induced by Conservation Laws and Uncertainty Relations
Errors in quantum computers can be classified into two classes: the static errors—decoherence in qubits arising from the interaction between computational qubits and the environment—and the dynamical errors—imperfection of logic operations arising from the interaction between computational qubits and controllers of quantum gates. The current theory of fault-tolerant quantum computing concludes ...
متن کامل‘Measurement of quantum mechanical operators’ revisited
The Wigner-Araki-Yanase (WAY) theorem states a remarkable limitation to quantum mechanical measurements in the presence of additive conserved quantities. Discovered by Wigner in 1952, this limitation is known to induce constraints on the control of individual quantum systems in the context of information processing. It is therefore important to understand the precise conditions and scope of the...
متن کاملConservative quantum computing.
The Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem shows that conservation laws limit the accuracy of measurement. Here, we generalize the argument to show that conservation laws limit the accuracy of quantum logic operations. A rigorous lower bound is obtained of the error probability of any physical realization of the controlled-NOT gate under the constraint that the computational basis is represented by a comp...
متن کاملPosition measurements obeying momentum conservation.
We present a hitherto unknown fundamental limitation to a basic measurement: that of the position of a quantum object when the total momentum of the object and apparatus is conserved. This result extends the famous Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem, and shows that accurate position measurements are only practically feasible if there is a large momentum uncertainty in the apparatus.
