Abstract

The effect of steering describes a possible action at a distance via measurements but characterizing the quantum states that can be used for this task remains difficult. We provide a method to derive sufficient criteria for steering from entropic uncertainty relations using generalized entropies. We demonstrate that the resulting criteria outperform existing criteria in several scenarios; moreover, they allow one to detect weakly steerable states.

    The critical value of white noise α for different dimensions d, considering a complete set of MUBs. In this plot, blue circles correspond to our criterion in Eq. (19) for q1 and the yellow squares to q=2. The green diamonds correspond to the results for the inequality presented in Ref. [37] and the red triangles in Ref. [38], where αcrit was calculated via semidefinite programming (numerical method). Below the purple reversed triangles the existence of an LHS model for all projective measurements (i.e., infinite amount of measurements instead of d+1 MUBs) is known [2]. Note that Ref. [2] is given for comparison; this is not a steering criterion, but a bound on any criterion.
