How does the entropic uncertainty principle differ from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and what does it tell us about uncertainty in quantum cryptographic tasks?
The entropic uncertainty principle, also known as the uncertainty relation for entropy, is a fundamental concept in quantum cryptography that differs from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. While Heisenberg's uncertainty principle relates to the uncertainty in the measurement of complementary observables, such as position and momentum, the entropic uncertainty principle deals with the uncertainty in the measurement
What is the quantum coherent information and how is it related to conditional quantum entropy?
Quantum coherent information refers to the amount of information that can be reliably transmitted or stored in a quantum system while maintaining its coherence. In the field of quantum cryptography, coherence is a important property that ensures the security of quantum communication protocols. To understand the relationship between quantum coherent information and conditional quantum entropy,

How does conditional quantum entropy differ from classical conditional entropy?
Conditional entropy is a fundamental concept in information theory that measures the uncertainty of a random variable given the knowledge of another random variable. In classical information theory, the conditional entropy quantifies the average amount of information needed to describe the outcome of a random variable Y, given the value of another random variable X.
