Comment on "Geometric derivation of the quantum speed limit" (1207.2208v1)

Published 10 Jul 2012 in quant-ph

Abstract: Recently, Jones and Kok [P. J. Jones and P. Kok, Phys. Rev. A 82, 022107 (2010)] presented alternative geometric derivations of the Mandelstam-Tamm [L. Mandelstam and I. Tamm, J. Phys. (USSR) 9, 249 (1945)] and Margolus-Levitin [N. Margolus and L. B. Levitin, Phys. D 120, 188 (1998)] inequalities for the quantum speed of dynamical evolution. The Margolus-Levitin inequality followed from an upper bound on the rate of change of the statistical distance between two arbitrary pure quantum states. We show that the derivation of this bound is incorrect. Subsequently, we provide two upper bounds on the rate of change of the statistical distance, expressed in terms of the standard deviation of the generator K and its expectation value above the ground state. The bounds lead to the Mandelstam-Tamm inequality and a quantum speed limit which is only slightly weaker than the Margolus-Levitin inequality.
