An open question of fundamental importance in quantum thermodynamics is how to describe the statistics of work for initial state with quantum coherence. In this paper, work statistics is considered from a fully new perspective of "wave-particle" duality. Based on the generalized quantum work measurement, predictability of energy levels $\mathcal{D}_W$ and effectiveness of coherence $\mathcal{V}_W$ are defined, and they obey inequality $\mathcal{D}_W^2+\mathcal{V}_W^2\leq1$, which is the…

This paper obtains a complete complementarity relation for quantum uncertainty, classical uncertainty, and predictability, and shows that Brukner-Zeilinger's invariant information quantifies both the wave and particle characters of a quanton.
Complete complementarity relations for multipartite pure states
• Computer Science
• 2020
By exploring the purity of bi- and tri-partite pure quantum states, it is shown that it is possible to obtain complete complementarity relations and this procedure allows us to create a general framework for obtaining complete complement parity relations for a subsystem that belongs to an arbitrary multi- partite quantum system in a pure state.
