Quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation under feedback control (2312.07407v1)

Abstract: The thermodynamic uncertainty relation posits that higher thermodynamic costs are essential for a system to function with greater precision. Recent discussions have expanded thermodynamic uncertainty relations beyond classical non-equilibrium systems, investigating how quantum characteristics can be utilized to improve precision. In this Letter, we explore how quantum feedback, a control technique used to manipulate quantum systems, can enhance the precision. Specifically, we derive a quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation for feedback control under jump measurement, which provides the lower bound to the scaled variance of the number of jumps. We find that the presence of feedback control can increase the accuracy of continuous measured systems, which is verified with numerical simulations. Moreover, we derive a quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation for feedback control under homodyne detection.
