  1. How to measure the momentum on a half line. Yutaka SHIKANO Dept. of Phys., Tokyo Institute of Technology Theoretical Astrophysics Group Instructed by Akio Hosoya 12/8/2006 Physics Colloquium 2 at Titech

  2. Outline • My Research’s standpoint • Introduction of the Quantum Measurement Theory • Various operators • Projective Measurement and POVM • Our proposed problem setup • Holevo’s works • Summary and Further discussions

  3. My Research’s standpoint • Overview of Quantum Information Theory • Quantum Computing (Deutsch, Shor, Grover, Jozsa, Briegel) • Quantum Communication (Milburn) • Entanglement (Vedral, Nielsen) • Quantum Cryptography (Koashi) • Quantum Optics (Shapiro, Hirota) • Quantum Measurement & Metrology (Ozawa, Yuen, Fuchs, Holevo, Lloyd) Infinite dimensional Hilbert Space Finite dimensional Hilbert Space

  4. Symmetric Operators v.s.Self-adjoint Operators • Symmetric Operators • Bounded Symmetric Operators: Hermitian • Riesz representation theorem • Self-adjoint Operators

  5. Projective Measurement (Von-Neumann Measurement) • Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM) POVM was proposed by E. Davies & J. Lewis Projective Measurement andPositive Operator Valued Measure • Measurement Action to decide the probability distribution. Measurement without error Measurement with error

  6. Symmetric Self-adjoint Relation between Operators and Measurement Outlook: This region is POVM only. Hermitian Von-Neumann Measurement POVM

  7. Canonical Measurement • Uncertainty relation • Canonical Measurement • To satisfy the minimum uncertainty relation • proposed by Holevo in 1977 “Optimal” measurement

  8. Our proposed problem How do you measure the momentum optimally of particle on a half line? 0 The momentum operator is symmetric, but not self-adjoint. Not Von-Neumann measurement, but POVM only.

  9. Motivations • In Physics • Quantum wells • Carbon nanotubes • M. Fisher & L. Glazman, cond-mat/9610037 • M. Bockrath et. al, Nature, 397, 598 (1999) • In Quantum Information • To establish the quantum measurement theory • To clarify the relation between quantum measurement and the uncertainty principle

  10. Holevo’s work • To motivate to establish a time-energy uncertainty relation. • Time v.s. Momentum • Energy v.s. Coordinate • Energy is lowly bounded. v.s. Half line • To solve the optimal POVM of the time operator. • Experimentalists don’t know how to measure it since Holevo didn’t give CP-map.

  11. Our future work Our problem: How to construct the CP-map from the measure to satisfy the minimum uncertainty relation. 0

  12. Summary & Further Directions • We propose the problem how you measure the momentum optimally of particle in infinite-dimensional Hilbert space on a half line. • Our proposed problem set is similar to the Holevo’s. • We will solve this problem set. • I have to find the experiments similar to our proposed problem set.

  17. Observable & Self-adjoint operator • An Axiom of the Quantum Mechanics • “A physical quantity is the observable. The Observable defines that the operator which corresponds to the “physical quantity“ is self-adjoint.” proposed by Von-Neumann in 1932 In short Von-Neumann Measurement: To measure the physical quantity without error. POVM: To measure the physical quantity with error.
