We consider the uncertainty between two pairs of local projective measurements performed on a multipartite system.We show that the optimal bound in any linear uncertainty relation, formulated in terms of the Shannon entropy, is additive.This directly implies, against naive intuition, that the minimal entropic uncertainty can always be realized by a
BackgroundIncreased intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic surgery causes cephalad displacement of the diaphragm, resulting in the formation of atelectasis, which can be overcome by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the level of optimal PEEP to maintain adequate arterial oxygenation a
