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 …

Catalysis in quantum information theory

P Lipka-Bartosik, H Wilming, NHY Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

Quantifying coherence

T Baumgratz, M Cramer, MB Plenio - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We introduce a rigorous framework for the quantification of coherence and identify intuitive
and easily computable measures of coherence. We achieve this by adopting the viewpoint …

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 …

Description of quantum coherence in thermodynamic processes requires constraints beyond free energy

M Lostaglio, D Jennings, T Rudolph - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

Observable measure of quantum coherence in finite dimensional systems

D Girolami - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Quantum coherence is the key resource for quantum technology, with applications in
quantum optics, information processing, metrology, and cryptography. Yet, there is no …

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 …

Relating the resource theories of entanglement and quantum coherence

E Chitambar, MH Hsieh - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Quantum coherence and quantum entanglement represent two fundamental features of
nonclassical systems that can each be characterized within an operational resource theory …

Quantum speed limits, coherence, and asymmetry

I Marvian, RW Spekkens, P Zanardi - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
The resource theory of asymmetry is a framework for classifying and quantifying the
symmetry-breaking properties of both states and operations relative to a given symmetry. In …
