| contents | Quantum mechanics imposes a lower bound on the time required for a quantum system to reach certain given targets. In this paper, from a geometric perspective, we introduce a new quantum speed limit (QSL) based on the Bloch angle and derive the condition for it to saturate. Experimentally, we demonstrate the feasibility of measuring this QSL using a photonic system through direct Bloch angle measurements via a swap test, bypassing the need for comprehensive quantum state tomography. Compared to the existing Bloch-angle-based QSL mentioned in prior work, our QSL requires fewer computational and experimental resources and provides tighter constraints for specific dynamics. Our work underscores the Bloch angle's effectiveness in providing tighter and experimentally accessible QSLs and advances the understanding of quantum dynamics. |
