1. Introduction
Let
be a finite dimensional Hilbert space. Given an orthonormal basis
for
, the
Shannon entropy at a point
is defined as
where
[
1]. In 1983, Deutsch derived following breakthrough entropic uncertainty principle for Shannon entropy [
1].
Theorem 1
([1] (Deutsch Entropic Uncertainty Principle)). Let , be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional Hilbert space . Then
The inequality (
2) is recently derived for Banach spaces [
2]. It is observed very recently that using Buzano inequality (see [
3,
4,
5]) one can provide a simple proof of Theorem 1 (see Corollary 1 in [
2]). As Hilbert C*-modules became more important in noncommutative geometry, we are mainly motivated from the following problem. What is the modular version of Theorem 1? Hilbert C*-modules are first introduced by Kaplansky [
6] for modules over commutative C*-algebras and later developed for modules over arbitrary C*-algebras by Paschke [
7] and Rieffel [
8].
Definition 1
([6,7,8]). Let be a unital C*-algebra. A left module over
is said to be a (left) Hilbert C*-module if there exists a map such that the following hold.
- (i)
, . If satisfies , then .
- (ii)
, .
- (iii)
, , .
- (iv)
, .
- (v)
is complete w.r.t. the norm , .
Our prime tool to derive modular Deutsch uncertainty is the following modular Buzano inequality by Khosravi, Drnovšek, and Moslehian [
9].
Theorem 2 ([
9] (Modular Buzano Inequality)).
If is a Hilbert C*-module over a unital C*-algebra , then
In this paper we derive Theorem 1 for Hilbert C*-modules over commutative unital C*-algebras.
2. Modular Deutsch Entropic Uncertainty Principle
We begin by recalling the definition of frames for Hilbert C*-modules.
Definition 2 ([
10]).
Let be a Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra . A collection in is said to be a (modular) Parseval frame for if
A collection
in a Hilbert C*-module
over unital C*-algebra
with identity 1 is said to have
unit inner product if
In analogy with Equation (
1), given a unit inner product Parseval frame
for
, we define
modular Shannon entropy at a point
is defined as
where
.
Theorem 3
(Modular Deutsch Entropic Uncertainty Principle). Let be a Hilbert C*-module over a commutative unital C*-algebra . Let , be two Parseval frames for . Then
Proof. Let
. Using the Parseval frame property, the commutativity of C*-algebra, Theorem 2 and the result that ‘function logarithm is operator monotone’ [
11], we get
□
In 1988, Maassen and Uffink (motivated from the conjecture by Kraus made in 1987 [
12]) improved Deutsch entropic uncertainty principle.
Theorem 4
([13] (Maassen-Uffink Entropic Uncertainty Principle)). Let ,
be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional Hilbert space . Then
In 2013, Ricaud and Torrésani [
14] showed that orthonormal bases in Theorem 4 can be improved to Parseval frames.
Theorem 5
([14] (Ricaud-Torrésani Entropic Uncertainty Principle)). Let , be two Parseval frames for a finite dimensional Hilbert space . Then
Proofs of Theorems 4 and 5 use Riesz-Thorin interpolation (RTI). To the best of author’s knowledge, RTI does not exists for abstract Hilbert C*-modules. Therefore we end by formulating the following conjecture.
Conjecture 6
(Modular Kraus Entropic Conjecture). Let be a Hilbert C*-module over a commutative unital C*-algebra . Let , be two Parseval frames for . Then
