Abstract
The uncertainty principle is viewed as one of the appealing properties in the context of quantum mechanics, which intrinsically offers a lower bound with regard to the measurement outcomes of a pair of incompatible observables within a given system. In this letter, we attempt to observe entropic uncertainty in the presence of quantum memory under different local noisy channels. To be specific, we develop the dynamics of the measured uncertainty under local bit-phase-flipping (unital) and depolarization (nonunital) noise, respectively, and attractively put forward an effective strategy to manipulate its magnitude of the uncertainty of interest by means of parity-time symmetric (-symmetric) operations on the subsystem to be measured. It is interesting to find that there exist different evolution characteristics of the uncertainty in the channels considered here, i.e. the monotonic behavior in the nonunital channels, and the non-monotonic behavior in the unital channels. Moreover, the amount of the measured uncertainty can be reduced to some degree by properly modulating the -symmetric operations.
