    On Haag Duality for Pure States of Quantum Spin Chain

    Full text link
    We consider quantum spin chains and their translationally invariant pure states. We prove Haag duality for quasilocal observables localized in semi-infinite intervals when the von Neumann algebras generated by observables localized in these intervals are not type I

    Uncertainty Relations for Joint Localizability and Joint Measurability in Finite-Dimensional Systems

    Full text link
    Two quantities quantifying uncertainty relations are examined. In J.Math.Phys. 48, 082103 (2007), Busch and Pearson investigated the limitation on joint localizability and joint measurement of position and momentum by introducing overall width and error bar width. In this paper, we show a simple relationship between these quantities for finite-dimensional systems. Our result indicates that if there is a bound on joint localizability, it is possible to obtain a similar bound on joint measurability. For finite-dimensional systems, uncertainty relations for a pair of general projection-valued measures are obtained as by-products.Comment: 10 pages. To appear in Journal of Mathematical Physic
