Uncertainty rescued: Bohr's complementarity for composite systems

Ilki Kim, Günter Mahler

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Generalized uncertainty relations may depend not only on the commutator relation of two observables considered, but also on mutual correlations, in particular, on entanglement. The equivalence between the uncertainty relation and Bohr's complementarity thus holds in a much broader sense than anticipated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
