Colloquium: Quantum coherence as a resource

A Streltsov, G Adesso, MB Plenio - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Quantum coherence and geometric quantum discord

ML Hu, X Hu, J Wang, Y Peng, YR Zhang, H Fan - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Quantum coherence and quantum correlations are of fundamental and practical significance
for the development of quantum mechanics. They are also cornerstones of quantum …

Operational resource theory of coherence

A Winter, D Yang - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We establish an operational theory of coherence (or of superposition) in quantum systems,
by focusing on the optimal rate of performance of certain tasks. Namely, we introduce the …

Robustness of coherence: an operational and observable measure of quantum coherence

C Napoli, TR Bromley, M Cianciaruso, M Piani… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
Quantifying coherence is an essential endeavor for both quantum foundations and quantum
technologies. Here, the robustness of coherence is defined and proven to be a full …

Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement

D Braun, G Adesso, F Benatti, R Floreanini… - Reviews of Modern …, 2018 - APS
Quantum-enhanced measurements exploit quantum mechanical effects for increasing the
sensitivity of measurements of certain physical parameters and have great potential for both …

Intrinsic randomness as a measure of quantum coherence

X Yuan, H Zhou, Z Cao, X Ma - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Based on the theory of quantum mechanics, intrinsic randomness in measurement
distinguishes quantum effects from classical ones. From the perspective of states, this …

Converting coherence to quantum correlations

J Ma, B Yadin, D Girolami, V Vedral, M Gu - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Recent results in quantum information theory characterize quantum coherence in the context
of resource theories. Here, we study the relation between quantum coherence and quantum …

Quantum coherence in multipartite systems

Y Yao, X Xiao, L Ge, CP Sun - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Within the unified framework of exploiting the relative entropy as a distance measure of
quantum correlations, we make explicit the hierarchical structure of quantum coherence …

How to quantify coherence: Distinguishing speakable and unspeakable notions

I Marvian, RW Spekkens - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
Quantum coherence is a critical resource for many operational tasks. Understanding how to
quantify and manipulate it also promises to have applications for a diverse set of problems in …

Robustness of asymmetry and coherence of quantum states

M Piani, M Cianciaruso, TR Bromley, C Napoli… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
Quantum states may exhibit asymmetry with respect to the action of a given group. Such an
asymmetry of states can be considered a resource in applications such as quantum …
