Quantum Kolmogorov complexity and information-disturbance theorem (Q657557)

Summary: A representation of the information-disturbance theorem based on the quantum Kolmogorov complexity that was defined by \textit{P. M. B. Vitányi} [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 47, No.~6, 2464--2479 (2001; Zbl 1021.94006)] is examined. In the quantum information theory, the information-disturbance relationship, which treats the trade-off relationship between information gain and its caused disturbance, is a fundamental result that is related to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The problem was formulated in a cryptographic setting and the quantitative relationships between complexities have been derived.
