Improved bounds on quantum uncommon information

Quantum uncommon information signifies information that two parties do not share in common. Despite the long-standing challenge of deriving a closed-form expression for quantum uncommon information, significant progress has remained elusive. In this work, we present new bounds on quantum uncommon information using a subspace exchange strategy and a referee-assisted quantum exchange task. Both techniques offer improved bounds compared to previous methods. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of these bounds through non-trivial examples. Our results have broader applications in various scenarios, particularly, the subspace technique is a versatile tool for the characterization of uncommon information in multi-party scenarios.
