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 discord and its allies: a review of recent progress

A Bera, T Das, D Sadhukhan, SS Roy… - Reports on Progress …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We review concepts and methods associated with quantum discord and related topics. We
also describe their possible connections with other aspects of quantum information and …

Coherence as a Resource for Shor's Algorithm

F Ahnefeld, T Theurer, D Egloff, JM Matera… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Shor's factoring algorithm provides a superpolynomial speedup over all known classical
factoring algorithms. Here, we address the question of which quantum properties fuel this …

Operational resource theory of imaginarity

KD Wu, TV Kondra, S Rana, CM Scandolo, GY Xiang… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Wave-particle duality is one of the basic features of quantum mechanics, giving rise to the
use of complex numbers in describing states of quantum systems and their dynamics and …

Coherence depletion in the Grover quantum search algorithm

HL Shi, SY Liu, XH Wang, WL Yang, ZY Yang, H Fan - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We investigate the role of quantum coherence depletion (QCD) in the Grover search
algorithm (GA) by using several typical measures of quantum coherence and quantum …

Quantifying quantum coherence via Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability

A Budiyono, HK Dipojono - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of
classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an …

Operational one-to-one mapping between coherence and entanglement measures

H Zhu, Z Ma, Z Cao, SM Fei, V Vedral - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We establish a general operational one-to-one mapping between coherence measures and
entanglement measures: Any entanglement measure of bipartite pure states is the minimum …

Resource theory of superposition

T Theurer, N Killoran, D Egloff, MB Plenio - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
The superposition principle lies at the heart of many nonclassical properties of quantum
mechanics. Motivated by this, we introduce a rigorous resource theory framework for the …

Maximal coherence and the resource theory of purity

A Streltsov, H Kampermann, S Wölk… - New Journal of …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The resource theory of quantum coherence studies the off-diagonal elements of a density
matrix in a distinguished basis, whereas the resource theory of purity studies all deviations …

Quantifying operations with an application to coherence

T Theurer, D Egloff, L Zhang, MB Plenio - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
To describe certain facets of nonclassicality, it is necessary to quantify properties of
operations instead of states. This is the case if one wants to quantify how well an operation …
