Stronger error disturbance relations for incompatible quantum measurements

Abstract

We formulate a new error-disturbance relation, which is free from explicit dependence upon variances in observables. This error-disturbance relation shows improvement over the one provided by the Branciard inequality and the Ozawa inequality for some initial states and for a particular class of joint measurements under consideration. We also prove a modified form of Ozawa's error-disturbance relation. The latter relation provides a tighter bound compared to the Ozawa and the Branciard inequalities for a small number of states.
