Entropic time–energy uncertainty relations: an algebraic approach

Abstract

We address entropic uncertainty relations between time and energy or, more precisely, between measurements of an observable G and the displacement r of the G-generated evolution e−irG . We derive lower bounds on the entropic uncertainty in two frequently considered scenarios, which can be illustrated as two different guessing games in which the role of the guessers are fixed or not. In particular, our bound for the first game improves the previous result by Coles et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122 100401 (2019)]. To derive our bounds, we extend a recently proposed novel algebraic method by Gao et al [arXiv:1710.10038 [quant-ph]] which was used to derive both strong subadditivity and entropic uncertainty relations for measurements.
