Abstract We prove two new fundamental uncertainty relations with quantum mem- ory for the Wehrl entropy. The first relation applies to the bipartite memory scenario. It determines the minimum conditional Wehrl entropy among all the quantum states with a given conditional and proves that this minimum is asymptoti- cally achieved by a suitable sequence of quantum Gaussian states. The second relation applies to the tripartite memory scenario. It determines the minimum of the sum of the Wehrl entropy of a quantum state conditioned on the first memory quantum system with the Wehrl entropy of the same state conditioned on the second memory quantum system and proves that also this minimum is asymptotically achieved by a suitable sequence of quantum Gaussian states. The Wehrl entropy of a quantum state is the Shannon differential entropy of the outcome of a heterodyne measurement performed on the state. The heterodyne measurement is one of the main measurements in quan- tum optics and lies at the basis of one of the most promising protocols for quantum key distribution. These fundamental entropic uncertainty relations will be a valuable tool in and will, for example, find application in security proofs of quantum key distribution protocols in the asymptotic regime and in entanglement witnessing in quantum optics.

1 Introduction

Entropic uncertainty relations provide a lower bound to the sum of the of the outcomes of two incompatible measurements performed on the same quantum state. Entropic uncertainty relations are a fundamental tool of quantum information theory, since they are the central ingredient in the security analysis of almost all quantum cryptographic protocols and can be used for entanglement witnessing (see [6] for a review). The quantum information community has recently focused on the scenario with quantum memory [3,6,7,14], where the entropies are conditioned on the knowledge of external observers holding memory quantum systems correlated with the measured system. The heterodyne measurement [27] is one of the main measurements in quantum optics. It is used for quantum tomography [5] and lies at the basis of one of the most promising quantum key distribution protocols [29,30]. The Wehrl entropy [31, 32] of a quantum state is the Shannon differential entropy [8] of the outcome of a heterodyne measurement performed on the state. The elements of the POVM that models the heterodyne measurement are the projectors onto the coherent states [1,16, 19,20,28]. Since the coherent states are not orthogonal, the associated projectors do not commute, and nontrivial entropic uncertainty relations are allowed for the heterodyne measurement alone. The basic uncertainty relation for the Wehrl entropy states that its minimum is achieved by the vacuum state [4,26]. This relation has been recently improved: it has been proven that thermal quantum Gaussian states minimize the Wehrl entropy among all the quantum states with a given von Neumann entropy [9,13]. In this paper, we prove two new fundamental uncertainty relations for the Wehrl entropy in the scenario with quantum memory. The first relation (Theorem 3) applies to the bipartite scenario with one memory quantum system. It determines the minimum conditional Wehrl entropy among all the quantum states with a given conditional von Neumann entropy and proves that this minimum is asymptotically achieved by a suitable sequence of quan- tum Gaussian states (Theorem 5). This sequence is built from a two-mode infinitely squeezed pure state shared between the system to be measured and the memory, apply- ing the quantum-limited amplifier to the system to be measured. The second relation (Theorem 4) applies to the tripartite scenario with two memory quantum systems. It determines the minimum of the sum of the Wehrl entropy of a quantum state con- ditioned on the first memory quantum system with the Wehrl entropy of the same quantum state conditioned on the second memory quantum system and proves that also this minimum is asymptotically achieved by a suitable sequence of quantum Gaussian states (Theorem 6). This sequence is the purification of the sequence that saturates the bipartite memory uncertainty relation, and the purifying system plays the role of the second memory. 123 Uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl... 2141

The key ingredient of the proof of Theorem 3 is the entropy power inequality with quantum memory [12,21]. This fundamental inequality determines the minimum con- ditional von Neumann entropy of the output of the beam splitter or of the squeezing among all the input states where the two inputs are conditionally independent given the memory and have given conditional von Neumann entropies. This inequality gen- eralizes the quantum entropy power inequality [10,11,22,23] to the scenario with quantum memory. The link with the Wehrl entropy is provided by Theorem 1, stating that the heterodyne measurement is asymptotically equivalent to the quantum-limited amplifier in the limit of infinite amplification parameter. The proof of Theorem 1 is based on a new Berezin–Lieb inequality (Theorem 2) for the scenario with quantum memory. The fundamental uncertainty relations proven in this paper will be a valuable tool in quantum information and quantum cryptography. Indeed, one of the most promising protocols for quantum key distribution is based on the exchange of Gaussian coherent states and on the heterodyne measurement [29]. The security of a variant of this protocol has recently been proved [24,25]. This variant requires integrating in the protocol a symmetrisation procedure that is difficult to implement. The security of the original protocol without the symmetrisation has not been proven yet. With the uncertainty relations proven in this paper, it will be possible to prove the security of the original protocol in the asymptotic regime of a key of infinite length [6]. The proof might exploit the techniques of [15], which proves the security of a quantum key distribution protocol based on the homodyne measurement through an entropic uncertainty relation for the joint measurement of position and momentum. Among the other possible applications of our results, we mention, for example, entanglement witnessing (see Corollary 1). The paper is structured as follows. In Sect. 2, we introduce Gaussian quantum systems and the heterodyne measurement. In Sect. 3, we prove the equivalence between heterodyne measurement and quantum-limited amplifier. In Sects. 4 and 5, we prove the bipartite and tripartite memory entropic uncertainty relations, respectively, and in Sect. 6 we prove their optimality.

2 Gaussian quantum systems

We consider the Hilbert space of M harmonic oscillators, or M modes of the electro- magnetic radiation, i.e. the irreducible representation of the canonical commutation relations   ˆ , ˆ† = δ Iˆ , , = ,..., . ai a j ij i j 1 M (1)

ˆ† ˆ ,..., ˆ† ˆ The operators a1a1 aM aM have integer spectrum and commute. Their joint {| ... } eigenbasis is the Fock basis n1 nM n1,..., nM ∈N. The Hamiltonian

M ˆ = ˆ† ˆ N ai ai (2) i=1 123 2142 G. De Palma counts the number of excitations or photons. We define the quadratures

ˆ +ˆ† ˆ −ˆ† ˆ ai ai ˆ ai ai Qi = √ , Pi = √ , i = 1, ..., M . (3) 2 i 2

We can collect them in the vector

ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ R2i−1 = Qi , R2i = Pi , i = 1, ..., M , (4) and (1) becomes   ˆ ˆ ˆ Ri , R j = i ij I , i, j = 1,...,2M , (5) where M   01  = (6) −10 i=1 is the symplectic form.

2.1 Quantum Gaussian states

A quantum Gaussian state is a density operator proportional to the exponential of a quadratic polynomial in the quadratures:  − 1 2M ˆ ˆ exp 2 i, j=1 hij Ri R j γˆ =  , (7) − 1 2M ˆ ˆ Tr exp 2 i, j=1 hij Ri R j where h is a positive real 2M × 2M matrix. A quantum Gaussian state is completely identified by its covariance matrix   1 ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ σij = Tr Ri R j + R j Ri γˆ , i, j = 1,...,2M. (8) 2

The von Neumann entropy of a quantum Gaussian state is

M    1 S = g νi − , (9) 2 i=1 where g(x) = (x + 1) ln (x + 1) − x ln x , (10) and ν1, ..., νM are the symplectic eigenvalues of its covariance matrix σ , i.e. the absolute values of the eigenvalues of σ−1. 123 Uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl... 2143

2.2 Coherent states

The classical associated with a M-mode Gaussian quantum system is CM , and for any z ∈ CM we define the coherent state

∞ n n | |2  1 ... M − z z1 zM |z=e 2 √ |n1 ...nM  . (11) n1! ...nM ! n1, ..., nM =0

Coherent states satisfy the resolution of the identity [17]

d2M z |zz| = Iˆ , (12) CM π M where the integral converges in the weak topology. The POVM associated with the resolution of the identity (12) is called heterodyne measurement [27].

2.3 The Gaussian quantum-limited amplifier

The M-mode Gaussian quantum-limited amplifier Aκ with amplification parameter κ ≥ 1 performs a two-mode squeezing on the input state ρˆ and the vacuum state of an M-mode ancillary Gaussian system E with ladder operators eˆ1,..., eˆM :   ˆ ˆ † Aκ (ρ)ˆ = Tr E Uκ ρˆ ⊗|00| Uκ . (13)

The squeezing unitary operator   √ M  ˆ = κ ˆ† ˆ† −ˆ ˆ Uκ exp arccosh ai ei ai ei (14) i=1 acts on the ladder operators as √ √ ˆ † ˆ † Uκ aˆi Uκ = κ aˆi + κ − 1 eˆ , (15a) √ √ i ˆ † ˆ ˆ = κ − ˆ† + κ ˆ , = ,..., . Uκ ei Uκ 1 ai ei i 1 M (15b)

The Gaussian quantum-limited amplifier acts on quantum Gaussian states as follows. Let A and B be Gaussian quantum systems with MA and MB modes, respectively. Let γˆAB be the joint quantum Gaussian state on AB with covariance matrix   1 XZ σAB = . (16) 2 Z T Y 123 2144 G. De Palma

Then, (Aκ ⊗ IB)(γˆAB) is the quantum Gaussian state with covariance matrix  √  1 κ X + (κ − 1) I κ Z σ = √ MA . (17) AB 2 κ Z T Y

3 Asymptotic equivalence between heterodyne measurement and amplifier

In this section, we extend the asymptotic equivalence between the heterodyne mea- surement and the quantum-limited amplifier proven in [9] to the scenario with quantum memory. Theorem 1 (heterodyne measurement—amplifier equivalence) Let A be an M-mode Gaussian quantum system and B a generic quantum system. For any concave function f :[0, 1]→[0, ∞) and for any joint quantum state ρˆAB on AB,

M Tr AB f κ (Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB) Tr B f z|ˆρAB|z ≥ lim sup . (18) CM κ→∞ κ M

3.1 Proof of Theorem 1

The proof is based on the following generalization of the Berezin–Lieb inequality [2] to the scenario with quantum memory. Theorem 2 (Berezin–Lieb inequality with quantum memory) Let A be an M-mode Gaussian quantum system and B a generic quantum system. Then, for any trace-class ˆ ˆ ˆ operator X on AB with 0 ≤ X ≤ IAB and any concave function f :[0, 1]→[0, ∞),

 2M  ˆ d z ˆ Tr B f z|X|z ≥ Tr AB f X . (19) CM π M

Proof Let us diagonalize Xˆ :

∞ ∞ ˆ ˆ X = xk |ψkψk| , ψk|ψl =δkl ∀ k, l ∈ N , |ψkψk|=IAB. (20) k=0 k=0

We have ∞ 0 ≤ xk ≤ 1 ∀ k ∈ N , xk < ∞ . (21) k=0 M From the completeness of the |ψk we have for any z ∈ C

∞ ˆ ˆ z|ψkψk|z=z|IAB|z=IB . (22) k=0 123 Uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl... 2145

We can then apply Lemma 1 to |φk=z|ψk and get    ∞ ∞ ˆ Tr B f z|X|z = Tr B f xk z|ψkψk|z ≥ ψk|zz|ψk f (xk) k=0 k=0 ˆ = Tr Bz| f X |z . (23)

Finally, from the completeness relation (12)wehave

 2M  2M  ˆ d z ˆ d z ˆ Tr B f z|X|z ≥ Tr Bz| f X |z = Tr AB f X . (24) CM π M CM π M 

From [18], Theorem 9, the map κ M Aκ is unital, and  M M ˆ ˆ 0 ≤ κ (Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB) ≤ κ (Aκ ⊗ IB) IAB = IAB . (25)

ˆ M We can then apply Theorem 2 to X = κ (Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB) and get

 2M  M d z M Tr B f κ z|(Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB)|z ≥ Tr AB f κ (Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB) . CM π M (26) Since for any z ∈ CM √ √ M κ z|(Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB)|z=z/ κ|ˆρAB|z/ κ (27)

([9], Lemma 4), (26) becomes

2M  d z 1 M Tr B f z|ˆρAB|z ≥ Tr AB f κ (Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB) , (28) CM π M κ M and the claim follows taking the limit κ →∞.

4 Bipartite quantum memory uncertainty relation for the Wehrl entropy

Theorem 3 (bipartite quantum memory uncertainty relation for the Wehrl entropy) Let A be an M-mode Gaussian quantum system and B a generic quantum system. Let ρˆAB be a joint quantum state on AB such that its marginal ρˆA = Tr BρˆAB has finite average energy, and its marginal ρˆB = Tr AρˆAB has finite von Neumann entropy. M Let ρˆZB be the probability measure on C taking values in positive operators on B associated with the heterodyne measurement on A:

d2M z dρˆ (z) =z|ˆρ |z , z ∈ CM . (29) ZB AB π M 123 2146 G. De Palma

Then, the following bipartite quantum memory uncertainty relation holds:   ( | ) S A B ρˆAB S(Z|B)ρˆ ≥ M ln exp + 1 ≥ 0 , (30) ZB M where ( | ) = (ρˆ ) − (ρˆ ) S Z B ρˆZB S ZB S B (31) is the Shannon differential entropy of the outcome Z of the heterodyne measurement performed on A conditioned on the quantum system B, and

  d2M z S(ρˆZB) =− Tr B z|ˆρAB|z lnz|ˆρAB|z (32) CM π M is the joint entropy of Z and B.

Remark 1 If B is the trivial system, (30) becomes   S(ρˆ ) S(ρˆ ) ≥ M ln exp A + 1 ≥ 0 . (33) Z M

However, the optimal inequality satisfied by the unconditioned Wehrl entropy is [9]     − S(ρˆ ) S(ρˆ ) ≥ M ln g 1 A + 1 + M ≥ M , (34) Z M that is strictly stronger than (33). The presence of the quantum memory then both changes the form of the optimal inequality and reduces the minimum uncertainty: while the minimum Wehrl entropy is M, the minimum conditional Wehrl entropy is 0.

Corollary 1 (entanglement witnessing) Under the hypotheses of Theorem 3,ifthe quantum state ρˆAB is separable, the following bipartite quantum memory uncertainty relation holds: ( | ) ≥ . S Z B ρˆZB M ln 2 (35) ρˆ ( | ) ≥ Proof Since AB is separable, we have S A B ρˆAB 0. The claim then follows from Theorem 3. 

4.1 Proof of Theorem 3

Applying Theorem 1 to f (x) =−x ln x, we get

S(ρˆZB) ≥ lim sup S((Aκ ⊗ IB)(ρˆAB)) − M ln κ . (36) κ→∞ 123 Uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl... 2147

Subtracting S(ρˆB) on both sides, we get

( | ) ≥ ( | ) − κ . S Z B ρˆ lim sup S A B (Aκ ⊗I )(ρˆ ) M ln (37) ZB κ→∞ B AB

From the entropy power inequality with quantum memory [12],   ( | ) S A B ρˆAB S(A|B)(A ⊗I )(ρˆ ) ≥ M ln κ exp + κ − 1 . (38) κ B AB M

We then have   ( | ) S A B ρˆAB 1 S(Z|B)ρˆ ≥ M lim sup ln exp + 1 − ZB κ κ→∞ M  S(A|B)ρˆ = M ln exp AB + 1 . (39) M

5 Tripartite quantum memory uncertainty relation for the Wehrl entropy

Theorem 4 (tripartite quantum memory uncertainty relation for the Wehrl entropy) Let A be an M-mode Gaussian quantum system, and let B, C be arbitrary quantum systems. Let ρˆABC be a joint quantum state on ABC such that its marginal ρˆA = Tr BCρˆABC has finite average energy, and its marginals ρˆB = Tr AC ρˆABC and ρˆC = Tr ABρˆABC have finite von Neumann entropy. Let ρˆZBC be the probability measure on CM taking values in positive operators on BC associated with the heterodyne measurement on A:

d2M z dρˆ (z) =z|ˆρ |z , z ∈ CM . (40) ZBC ABC π M

Then, the following tripartite quantum memory uncertainty relation holds:

( | ) + ( | ) ≥ , S Z B ρˆZB S Z C ρˆZC M ln 4 (41) ( | ) ( | ) where S Z B ρˆZB and S Z C ρˆZC are defined as in (31).

Proof Let us first prove that we can assume ρˆABC pure. Let ρˆABCR be a purification of ρˆABC. We have from the data processing inequality for the quantum conditional entropy ( | ) ≥ ( | ) . S Z C ρˆZC S Z CR ρˆZCR (42) Defining C = CR,wehave

S(Z|B)ρˆ + S(Z|C)ρˆ ≥ S(Z|B)ρˆ + S(Z|C )ρˆ , (43) ZB ZC ZB ZC and we can then assume ρˆABC pure. 123 2148 G. De Palma

For any z ∈ CM , the state

z|ˆρABC|z ρˆBC|Z=z = (44) z|ˆρA|z is also pure, hence S(ρˆB|Z=z) = S(ρˆC|Z=z), (45) and ( | ) = ( | ) . S B Z ρˆZB S C Z ρˆZC (46) We then have

( | ) = ( | ) + (ρˆ ) − (ρˆ ) = ( | ) + (ρˆ ) − (ρˆ ) S Z C ρˆZC S C Z ρˆZC S Z S C S B Z ρˆZB S Z S AB = ( | ) − ( | ) . S Z B ρˆZB S A B ρˆAB (47)

Finally, Theorem 3 implies

S(Z|B)ρˆ + S(Z|C)ρˆ = 2S(Z|B)ρˆ − S(A|B)ρˆ ZB ZC  ZB AB  S(A|B)ρˆ ≥ M ln 2 + 2 cosh AB ≥ M ln 4 . (48) M



6 Optimality of the uncertainty relations

Theorem 5 (optimality of the bipartite memory uncertainty relation) The uncertainty relation with bipartite memory (30) is optimal and the minimum (30) for S(Z|B) is asymptotically achieved by a suitable sequence of quantum Gaussian states. Indeed, ≥ γˆ (a) let A and B be M-mode Gaussian quantum systems, and for any a 1 let AB be the tensor product of M two-mode squeezed pure quantum Gaussian states, with covariance matrix  √  M 2 − σ σ (a) = 1 √ aI2 a 1 Z , AB 2 (49) 2 a − 1 σZ aI2 i=1 where     10 10 I = ,σ= . (50) 2 01 Z 0 −1

Let us fix s ∈ R, and let us define

s κ = exp + 1 . (51) M 123 Uncertainty relations with quantum memory for the Wehrl... 2149

Then, the quantum Gaussian state  γˆ (s,a) = (A ⊗ I ) γˆ (a) AB κ B AB (52) satisfies  ( | ) = , ( | ) = s + , lim S A B γˆ (s,a) s lim S Z B γˆ (s,a) M ln exp 1 (53) a→∞ AB a→∞ ZB M

γˆ (s,a) CM where ZB is the probability measure on with values in positive operators on B associated with the heterodyne measurement on A, defined as in (29).

γˆ (s,a) Proof The quantum Gaussian state AB has covariance matrix ⎛  ⎞ M (κ a + κ − 1) I κ a2 − 1 σ σ (s,a) = 1 ⎝  2 Z ⎠ , AB (54) 2 κ 2 − σ i=1 a 1 Z aI2 whose symplectic eigenvalues are

κ a + κ − a 1 ν+ = ,ν− = , (55) 2 2 each with multiplicity M. We then have     κ + κ − − − ( | ) = a a 1 − a 1 , S A B γˆ (s,a) Mg Mg (56) AB 2 2 and ( | ) = (κ − ) = . lim S A B γˆ (s,a) M ln 1 s (57) a→∞ AB From [9], Lemma 4, we have for any z ∈ CM √ √   / κ|ˆγ (a)| / κ (s,a) (a) z AB z z|ˆγ |z=z| (Aκ ⊗ I ) γˆ |z= , (58) AB B AB κ M

(70)  ( , ) κ (a + 1) S γˆ s a = M ln + M; (60) Z 2 123 2150 G. De Palma hence,   ( | ) = ( | ) + γˆ (s,a) − γˆ (s,a) S Z B γˆ (s,a) S B Z γˆ (s,a) S Z S B ZB ZB   κ (a + 1) a − 1 = M ln + M − Mg .

Finally,  ( | ) = κ = s + . lim S Z B γˆ (s,a) M ln M ln exp 1 (62) a→∞ ZB M 

Theorem 6 (optimality of the tripartite memory uncertainty relation) The uncertainty relation with tripartite memory (41) is optimal and the value M ln 4 for S(Z|A) + S(Z|B) is asymptotically achieved by a suitable sequence of quantum Gaussian states. ≥ γˆ (0,a) γˆ (0,a) Indeed, for any a 1 let ABC be the purification of the quantum Gaussian state AB defined in (52). We then have  ( | ) + ( | ) = . lim S Z B γˆ (0,a) S Z C γˆ (0,a) M ln 4 (63) a→∞ ZB ZC

Proof From Theorem 5 we have

( | ) = , ( | ) = . lim S A B γˆ (0,a) 0 lim S Z B γˆ (0,a) M ln 2 (64) a→∞ AB a→∞ ZB

We then have from (48)   ( | ) + ( | ) = ( | ) − ( | ) lim S Z B γˆ (0,a) S Z C γˆ (0,a) lim 2S Z B γˆ (0,a) S A B γˆ (0,a) a→∞ ZB ZC a→∞ ZB AB = M ln 4 . (65)

Proof From (67) we get φk|φk≤1 ∀ k ∈ N . (69) We then have ∞ ∞ ˆ Tr A = ak φk|φk≤ ak < ∞ . (70) k=0 k=0 Aˆ has then discrete spectrum, and we can diagonalize it:

∞ ∞ ˆ ˆ A = λl |vl vl | , vk|vl =δkl ∀ k, l ∈ N , |vl vl |=I . (71) l=0 l=0

From the completeness of the |φk, for any l ∈ N
