Experiment verifies a Connection between Quantum Theory and Information Theory

A connection between quantum theory and information theory proved
With the help of a new experiment, researchers at Linköping University, among others, have succeeded in confirming a 10-year-old theoretical study that connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics—the complementarity principle—with information theory. Credit: Magnus Johansson

Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have confirmed a theory that proposes a connection between the complementarity principle and entropic uncertainty. Their study is published in the journal Science Advances.

“Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It’s basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers...
