Application of a resource theory for magic states to fault-tolerant quantum computing

M Howard, E Campbell - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Motivated by their necessity for most fault-tolerant quantum computation schemes, we
formulate a resource theory for magic states. First, we show that robustness of magic is a …

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 …

Resource theory of quantum non-Gaussianity and Wigner negativity

F Albarelli, MG Genoni, MGA Paris, A Ferraro - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We develop a resource theory for continuous-variable systems grounded on operations
routinely available within current quantum technologies. In particular, the set of free …

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 …
