Complementary Relationships between Entanglement and Measurement

Complementary relationships exist among interference properties of particles such as pattern visibility, predictability, and distinguishability. Additionally relationships between average information gain Ḡ and measurement disturbance F for entangled spin pairs are well established. This article examines whether a similar complementary relationship exists between entanglement and measurement. For qubit systems, both measurements on a single system and measurements on a bipartite system are considered in regard to entanglement. It is proven that Ē + D ≤ 1 holds, where Ē is the average entanglement after a measurement is made and D is a measure of the measurement disturbance of a single measurement. Assuming measurements on a bipartite system shared by Alice and Bob, it is shown that Ē + Ḡ ≤ 1, where Ḡ is the maximum average information gain that Bob can obtain regarding Alice’s result. These results are generalized to arbitrary initial mixed states and non-Hermitian operators and direct results are found for the case of maximally entangled initial states. We conclude that the amount of disturbance and average information gain one can achieve is strictly limited by entanglement.
