Abstract
The uncertainty principle is one of the key concepts in quantum theory. This principle states that it is not possible to measure two incompatible observables simultaneously and accurately. In quantum information theory, the uncertainty principle is formulated using the concept of entropy. In this work we consider the entropic uncertainty relation in the presence of quantum memory. We study the dynamics of entropic uncertainty bound for a two-qubit quantum system coupled to a spin chain with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and we investigate the effect of environmental parameters on the entropic uncertainty bound. Notably, our results reveal that there exist some environmental parameters which can be changed to suppress the entropic uncertainty bound.
