Description

Uncertainty relations for a pair of arbitrary measurements are posed in the form of inequalities using the Renyi entropies. The formulation deals with POVM measurements on finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Both the entropic uncertainty relations with state-dependent and state-independent bounds are presented. The results are illustrated on the example of measurements for state discrimination.
