Error tradeoff relation for estimating the unitary-shift parameter of a relativistic spin-1/2 particle

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the existence of a nontrivial tradeoff relation for estimating two unitary-shift parameters in a relativistic spin-1/2 system. It is shown that any moving observer cannot estimate two parameters simultaneously, even though a parametric model is classical in the rest frame. This transition from the classical model to a genuine quantum model is investigated analytically using a one-parameter family of quantum Fisher information matrices. This paper proposes to use an indicator that can not only detect the existence of a tradeoff relation but can also evaluate its strength. Based on the proposed indicator, this paper investigates the nature of the tradeoff relation in detail.
