GENERALIZED COMPLEMENTARITY RELATIONS IN COMPOSITE QUANTUM SYSTEMS OF ARBITRARY DIMENSIONS
Matthias Jakob, János A. Bergou · International Journal of Modern Physics B · 2006
Complementarity relations in composite bipartite quantum systems of arbitrary dimensions are proposed. Genuine bipartite quantum properties whose information content is quantified by the generalized concurrence mutually exclude the single-partite properties of the subsystems. The single-partite properties are determined by generalized predictabilities and visibilities, i.e. by the traditional concepts of wave-particle duality and define two complementary realities. These properties combined together are complementary to the generalized I-concurrence which quantifies genuine quantum correlations in n ⊗ m-dimensional bipartite systems. An important feature of the proposed quantitative complementarity relation is its upper bound which is given by a dimensional-dependent factor that exceeds unity in case of qudits with dimensionality d > 2. In d > 2-dimensional systems the information content can exceed one bit of information.
