反驳量子速度极限假设的封闭系统

Closed systems refuting quantum-speed-limit hypotheses

Niklas Hörnedal, Ole Sönnerborn

AI总结:

该研究通过理论推导反驳了Margolus-Levitin量子速度极限可推广至封闭系统的普遍观点,同时证明孤立系统中Mandelstam-Tamm与Bhatia-Davies量子速度极限同步饱和,且存在仅饱和前者的封闭系统。

摘要:

许多针对孤立系统的量子速度极限可推广至也适用于封闭系统,例如著名的Mandelstam-Tamm(曼德尔斯坦-塔姆)量子速度极限便是如此。Margolus和列维京(Levitin)推导出了同样知名且表面上相关的量子速度极限,且人们似乎普遍认为Margolus-Levitin量子速度极限也能类似地推广到封闭系统。然而,近期对该极限的几何分析显示,它与大多数已知的量子速度极限存在显著差异。本文中我们证明,与普遍观点相反,Margolus-Levitin量子速度极限无法以显而易见的方式推广到封闭系统。更确切地说,我们表明对于每一个Margolus-Levitin型的假设界,都存在这样的封闭系统:其在具有任意给定保真度的态之间演化时,保持归一化期望能量守恒,且演化时间短于该界值。我们还证明,对于孤立系统,Mandelstam-Tamm量子速度极限以及我们称之为Bhatia-Davies(巴蒂亚-戴维斯)量子速度极限的该极限的稍弱版本始终同时达到饱和。这两种演化时间估计都能直接推广到封闭系统。我们证实存在这样的封闭系统:其能达到Mandelstam-Tamm量子速度极限的饱和,但无法达到Bhatia-Davies量子速度极限的饱和。

英文摘要:

Many quantum speed limits for isolated systems can be generalized to also apply to closed systems. This is, for example, the case with the well-known Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit. Margolus and Levitin derived an equally well-known and ostensibly related quantum speed limit, and it seems to be widely believed that the Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limit can be similarly generalized to closed systems. However, a recent geometrical examination of this limit reveals that it differs significantly from most known quantum speed limits. In this paper, we show that, contrary to the common belief, the Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limit does not extend to closed systems in an obvious way. More precisely, we show that for every hypothetical bound of Margolus-Levitin type, there are closed systems that evolve with a conserved normalized expected energy between states with any given fidelity in a time shorter than the bound. We also show that for isolated systems, the Mandelstam-Tamm quantum speed limit and a slightly weakened version of this limit that we call the Bhatia-Davies quantum speed limit always saturate simultaneously. Both of these evolution time estimates extend straightforwardly to closed systems. We demonstrate that there are closed systems that saturate the Mandelstam-Tamm but not the Bhatia-Davies quantum speed limit.
