The entropic uncertainty preservation in non-Markovian environment via classical driving fields

Abstract Uncertainty relations in terms of entropies were initially proposed to deal with conceptual shortcomings in the original formulation of the uncertainty principle and, hence, play an important role in quantum foundations. In quantum information theory, the preferred mathematical quantity to express the entropic uncertainty relation is the Shannon’s entropy. In this work, we investigate the effect of a classical driving field on entropic uncertainty lower bound (EULB). In this regard, we consider a particle as the quantum memory correlated with a measured particle, where during the interaction with the environment, the quantum memory is driven by the external classical field. Our result reveals that in the presence of the classical driving fields, the EULB is reduced and consequently, the measurement accuracy is increased.
