[Objectives]The paper was to establish an evaluation method for the uncertainty of stevioside(including stevioside,rebaudioside A,rebaudioside B,rebaudioside C,rebaudioside F,Dulcoside A,rubusoside and steviolbioside)content determination in fermented milk based on HPLC.[Methods]The mathematical model of stevioside content and the propagation rate of uncertainty were established,and the sources of uncertainty were analyzed.[Results]The uncertainty mainly came from four main aspects,including standard uncertainty u(C)introduced by solution concentration C,standard uncertainty u(V)introduced by sample volume V,standard uncertainty u(m)introduced by sample mass m weighing and standard uncertainty u(f_(rep))introduced by measurement repeatability of stevioside content after sample dissolution and constant volume.The uncertainty estimation table and fishbone chart of stevioside content X determination were established.The relative synthetic standard uncertainty of stevioside content was obtained,and the standard uncertainty was extended to form the measurement result of stevioside content and its uncertainty report.[Conclusions]The evaluation results can be directly applied to the daily practical detection work.

Local sum uncertainty relations for angular momentum operators of bipartite permutation symmetric systems

We show that violation of the variance based local sum uncertainty relation(LSUR)for angular momentum operators of a bipartite system,proposed by Hofmann and Takeuchi[Phys.Rev.A 68032103(2003)],reflects entanglement in the equal bipartitions of an N-qubit symmetric state with even qubits.We establish the one-to-one connection with the violation of LSUR with negativity of covariance matrix[Phys.Lett.A 364203(2007)]of the two-qubit reduced system of a permutation symmetric N-qubit state.

A newfangled study using risk silhouette and uncertainty approximation for quantification of acyclovir in diverse formulation

Risk assessment and uncertainty approximation are two major and important parameters that need to be adopted for the development of pharmaceutical process to ensure reliable results.Additionally,there is a need to switch from the traditional method validation checklist to provide a high level of assurance of method reliability to measure quality attribute of a drug product.In the present work,evaluation of risk profile,combined standard uncertainty and expanded uncertainty in the analysis of acyclovir were studied.Uncertainty was calculated using cause-effect approach,and to make it more accurately applicable a method was validated in our laboratory as per the ICH guidelines.While assessing the results of validation,the calibration model was justified by the lack of fit and Levene＇s test.Risk profile represents the future applications of this method.In uncertainty the major contribution is due to sample concentration and mass.This work demonstrates the application of theoretical concepts of calibration model tests,relative bias,risk profile and uncertainty in routine methods used for analysis in pharmaceutical field.

Gravitational Space-Time Quantization for Charged Wormholes and the Diophantine Uncertainty Relation

This research work proceeds from the assumption, which was still considered by Einstein, that the quantization of gravity does not require additional external procedures: quantum phenomena can be a consequence of the properties of the universal gravitational interaction, which maps any physical field upon the space-time geometry. Therefore, an attempt is made in this research work to reduce the quantization of physical fields in GRT to the space-time quantization. Three reasons for quantum phenomena are considered: Partition of space-time into a set of unconnected Novikov’s R- and T-domains impenetrable for light paths;the set is generated by the invariance of Einstein’s equations with respect to dual mappings;The existence of electric charge quanta of wormholes, which geometrically describe elementary particles in GRT. This gives rise to a discrete spectrum of their physical and geometric parameters governed by Diophantine equations. It is shown that the fundamental constants (electric charge, rest masses of an electron and a proton) are interconnected arithmetically;The existence of the so-called Diophantine catastrophe, when fluctuations in the values of physical constants tending to zero lead to fluctuations in the number of electric charges and the number of nucleons at the wormhole throats, which tend to infinity, so that the product of the increments of these numbers by the increment of physical constants forms a relation equivalent to the uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics. This suggests that space-time cannot but fluctuate, and, moreover, its fluctuations are bounded from below, so that all processes become chaotic, and the observables become averaged over this chaos.

Uncertainty relations in the product form

We study the uncertainty relation in the product form of variances and obtain some new uncertainty relations with weight, which are shown to be tighter than those derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

Fine-grained uncertainty relation for open quantum system

The fine-grained uncertainty relation (FUR) is investigated for accelerating open quantum system, which manifests the celebrated Unruh effect, a crucial piece of the jigsaw for combining relativity and quantum physics. For a single detector, we show that the inevitable Unruh decoherence can induce a smaller FUR uncertainty bound, which indicates an additional measurement uncertainty may exist. For an open system combined with two detectors, via a nonlocal retrieval game, the related FUR uncertainty bound is determined by the non-classical correlation of the system. By estimating the maximal violation of Bell inequality for an accelerating system, we show that the FUR uncertainty bound can be protected from Unruh decoherence, due to quantum correlation generated through Markovian dynamics.

Quantum correlation and entropic uncertainty in a quantum-dot system

We explore the dynamical behaviors of the measurement uncertainty and quantum correlation for a vertical quantumdot system in the presence of magnetic field, including electron-electron interaction and Coulomb-blocked systems. Stemming from the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation, the uncertainty of interest is associated with temperature and parameters related to the magnetic field. Interestingly, the temperature has two kinds of influences on the variation of measurement uncertainty with respect to the magnetic-field-related parameters. We also discuss the relation between the lower bound of Berta et al. and the quantum discord. It is found that there is a natural competition between the quantum discord and the entropy min_(Π~B_(i)) SΠ~B_(i)(ρ_(A|B)). Finally, we bring in two improved bounds to offer a more precise limit to the entropic uncertainty.

Quantum uncertainty relations of quantum coherence and dynamics under amplitude damping channel

In this paper, we discuss quantum uncertainty relations of quantum coherence through a different method from Ref. [52]. Some lower bounds with parameters and their minimal bounds are obtained. Moreover, we find that for two pairs of measurement bases with the same maximum overlap, quantum uncertainty relations and lower bounds with parameters are different, but the minimal bounds are the same. In addition, we discuss the dynamics of quantum uncertainty relations of quantum coherence and their lower bounds under the amplitude damping channel（ADC）. We find that the ADC will change the uncertainty relations and their lower bounds, and their tendencies depend on the initial state.

Higher-order squeezing of quantum field and higher-order uncertainty relations in non-degenerate four-wave mixing

It is found that the field of the combined mode of the probe wave and the phase conjugate wave in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing exhibits higher-order squeezing to all even orders. The higher-order squeezed parameter and squeezed limit due to the modulation frequency are investigated. The smaller the modulation frequency is, the stronger the degree of higher-order squeezing becomes. Furthermore, the hlgher-order uncertainty relations in the process of non-degenerate four-wave mixing are presented for the first time. The product of higher-order noise moments is related to even order number N and the length L of the medium.

Uncertainty Relations for Some Central Potentials in N-Dimensional Space

We study the uncertainty relation for three quantum systems in the N-dimensional space by using the virial theorem (VT). It is shown that this relation depends on the energy spectrum of the system as well as on the space dimension N. It is pointed out that the form of lower bound of the inequality, which is governed by the ground state, depends on the system and on the space dimension N. A comparison between our result for the lower bound and recent results, based on information-theoretic approach, is pointed out. We examine and analyze these derived uncertainties for different angular momenta with a special attention made for the large N limit.

Reduction of entropic uncertainty in entangled qubits system by local PT-symmetric operation

We investigate the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty for an entangled two-qubit system in a local quantum noise channel with PT-symmetric operation performing on one of the two particles. Our results show that the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty in the qubits system can be reduced effectively by the local PT-symmetric operation. Physical explanations for the behavior of the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty are given based on the property of entanglement of the qubits system and the non-locality induced by the re-normalization procedure for the non-Hermitian PT-symmetric operation.

Generalized Uncertainty Relations, Curved Phase-Spaces and Quantum Gravity

Modifications of the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra are proposed where the classical limit corresponds to a metric in (curved) momentum spaces. In the simplest scenario, the 2D de Sitter metric of constant curvature in momentum space furnishes a hierarchy of modified uncertainty relations leading to a minimum value for the position uncertainty . The first uncertainty relation of this hierarchy has the same functional form as the stringy modified uncertainty relation with a Planck scale minimum value for at . We proceed with a discussion of the most general curved phase space scenario (cotangent bundle of spacetime) and provide the noncommuting phase space coordinates algebra in terms of the symmetric and nonsymmetric metric components of a Hermitian complex metric , such . Yang’s noncommuting phase-space coordinates algebra, combined with the Schrodinger-Robertson inequalities involving angular momentum eigenstates, reveals how a quantized area operator in units of emerges like it occurs in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). Some final comments are made about Fedosov deformation quantization, Noncommutative and Nonassociative gravity.

Quantum correlation enhanced bound of the information exclusion principle

We investigate the information exclusion principle for multiple measurements with assistance of multiple quantum memories that are well bounded by the upper and lower bounds.The lower bound depends on the observables'complementarity and the complementarity of uncertainty whilst the upper bound includes the complementarity of the observables,quantum discord,and quantum condition entropy.In quantum measurement processing,there exists a relationship between the complementarity of uncertainty and the complementarity of information.In addition,based on the information exclusion principle the complementarity of uncertainty and the shareability of quantum discord can exist as an essential factor to enhance the bounds of each other in the presence of quantum memory.

Tighter sum uncertainty relations via(α,β,γ)weighted Wigner–Yanase–Dyson skew information

We establish tighter uncertainty relations for arbitrary finite observables via(α,β,γ)weighted Wigner–Yanase–Dyson((α,β,γ)WWYD)skew information.The results are also applicable to the(α,γ)weighted Wigner–Yanase–Dyson((α,γ)WWYD)skew information and the weighted Wigner–Yanase–Dyson(WWYD)skew information.We also present tighter lower bounds for quantum channels and unitary channels via(α,β,γ)modified weighted Wigner–Yanase–Dyson((α,β,γ)MWWYD)skew information.Detailed examples are provided to illustrate the tightness of our uncertainty relations.

Uncertain Relation Suited to Overfitting of BP Neural Network

A general uncertainty relation between the change of weighted value which represents learning ability and the discrimination error of unlearning sample sets which represents generalization ability is revealed in the modeling of back propagation (BP) neural network. Tests of numerical simulation for multitype of complicated functions are carried out to determine the value distribution (1×10?5~5×10?4) of overfitting parameter in the uncertainty relation. Based on the uncertainty relation, the overfitting in the training process of given sample sets using BP neural network can be judged.

Information entropy for static spherically symmetric black holes

By using the new equation of state density derived from the generalized uncertainty relation, the number of the quantum states near event horizon is obtained, with which then the information entropy of static spherically symmetric black holes has been discussed. It is found that the divergent integral of quantum states near the event horizon can be naturally avoided if using the new equation of state density without introducing the ultraviolet cut-off. The information entropy of black holes can be obtained precisely by the residue theorem, which is shown to be proportional to the horizon area. The information entropy of black holes obtained agrees with the Bechenstein-Hawking entropy when the suitable cutoff factor is adopted.

Time and Energy Operators in Quantum Mechanics

Starting from a time operator, the form of the so called energy operator that is conjugate to the time operator is derived in time representation by analyzing the properties of time translation. This analysis also establishes the commutator between the time and the energy operators. It is seen from the analysis that the energy operator has nothing to do conceptually with the Hamiltonian operator of a system, so that the time operator is not conjugate to the Hamiltonian. Furthermore, it is shown that the Hermiticity of the energy operator requires introducing time integrate inner product. The time energy commutator and the time integral inner product put the time energy uncertainty relation on the same footing as the position momentum uncertainty relation.

On the time-independent Hamiltonian in real-time and imaginary-time quantum annealing

We present the analog analogue of Grover's problem as an example of the time-independent Hamiltonian for applying the speed limit of the imaginary-time Schrödinger equation derived by Okuyama and Ohzeki and the new class of energy-time uncertainty relation proposed by Kieu. It is found that the computational time of the imaginary-time quantum annealing of this Grover search can be exponentially small, while the counterpart of the quantum evolution driven by the real-time Schrödinger equation could only provide square root speedup, compared with classic search. The present results are consistent with the cases of the time-dependent quantum evolution of the natural Grover problem in previous works. We once again emphasize that the logarithm and square root algorithmic performances are generic in imaginary-time quantum annealing and quantum evolution driven by real-time Schrödinger equation, respectively. Also, we provide evidences to search deep reasons why the imaginary-time quantum annealing can lead to exponential speedup and the real-time quantum annealing can make square root speedup.

Quantum information entropy for one-dimensional system undergoing quantum phase transition

Calculations of the quantum information entropy have been extended to a non-analytically solvable situation. Specifically, we have investigated the information entropy for a one-dimensional system with a schematic ＂Landau＂ potential in a numerical way. Particularly, it is found that the phase transitional behavior of the system can be well expressed by the evolution of quantum information entropy. The calculated results also indicate that the position entropy S_x and the momentum entropy S_p at the critical point of phase transition may vary with the mass parameter M but their sum remains as a constant independent of M for a given excited state. In addition, the entropy uncertainty relation is proven to be robust during the whole process of the phase transition.

Entropy and Irreversibility in Classical and Quantum Mechanics

Review of the irreversibility problem in modern physics with new researches is given. Some characteristics of the Markov chains are specified and the important property of monotonicity of a probability is formulated. Using one thin inequality, the behavior of relative entropy in the classical case is considered. Further we pass to studying of the irreversibility phenomena in quantum problems. By new method is received the Lindblad’s equation and its physical essence is explained. Deep analogy between the classical Markov processes and development described by the Lindblad’s equation is conducted. Using method of comparison of the Lind-blad’s equation with the linear Langevin equation we receive a system of differential equations, which are more general, than the Caldeira-Leggett equation. Here we consider quantum systems without inverse influ-ence on a surrounding background with high temperature. Quantum diffusion of a single particle is consid-ered and possible ways of the permission of the Schr?dinger’s cat paradox and the role of an external world for the phenomena with quantum irreversibility are discussed. In spite of previous opinion we conclude that in the equilibrium environment is not necessary to postulate the processes with collapses of wave functions. Besides, we draw attention to the fact that the Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation does not always mean the restriction is usually the product of the average values of commuting variables. At last, some prospects in the problem of quantum irreversibility are discussed.
