- Abstract
Taking advantage of coherent light beams, we experimentally investigate the variance-based uncertainty relations and the optimal majorization uncertainty relation for the two-dimensional quantum mechanical system. Different from most of the experiments which devoted to record each individual quantum, we examine the uncertainty relations by measuring an ensemble of photons with two polarization degree of freedom characterized by the Stokes parameters which allow us to determine the polarization density matrix with high precision. The optimality of the recently proposed direct-sum majorization uncertainty relation is verified by measuring the Lorenz curves. Results show that the Lorenz curve method represents a faithful verification of the majorization uncertainty relation and the uncertainty relation is indeed an ensemble property of quantum system.
