“…The other necessary condition for stochastic transformations on qubits was that the initial state is not incoherent. For higher dimensions, this can be generalized by the statement that the coherence rank or number [3, [35][36][37] can only decrease under a stochastic IO (and therefore SIO) transformation, which we show now for completeness.…”

The resource theory of coherence [1-6] studies the operational value of superpositions in quantum technologies. A key question in this theory concerns the efficiency of manipulation and inter-conversion [3, 7-10] of the resource. Here we solve this question completely for qubit states by determining the optimal probabilities for mixed state conversions via stochastic incoherent operations. Extending the discussion to distributed scenarios, we introduce and address the task of assisted incoherent state conversion where the process is enhanced by making use of correlations with a second party. Building on these results, we demonstrate experimentally that the optimal state conversion probabilities can be achieved in a linear optics set-up. This paves the way towards real world applications of coherence transformations in current quantum technologies.Practical constraints on our ability to manipulate physical systems restrict the control we can exert on them. It is, for example, exceedingly difficult to exchange quantum systems undisturbed over long distances [11]. When manipulating spatially separated subsystems, effectively, this limits us to Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC). Under these operations, it is only possible to prepare certain states, i.e. separable ones. The states which cannot be produced under LOCC are called entangled and elevated to resources: Consuming them allows to implement operations such as quantum state teleportation [12] to achieve perfect quantum state transfer which would not be possible with LOCC alone. This has important consequences, e.g. in quantum communication and other quantum technologies, but also for our understanding of the view of the fundamental laws of nature [11,[13][14][15].Entanglement is explored within the framework of quantum resource theories, which can also be used to investigate other non-classical features of quantum mechanics in a systematic way.

“…We note that quantitative relations can also be obtained for other measures of coherence and entanglement based on the convex roof, similarly to the cases in [9,26,57,58]. Such monotones are built by taking suitable functions defined on pure states [59,60] and extending them to mixed states by minimizing over all pure-state decompositions [61].…”

Converting multilevel nonclassicality into genuine multipartite entanglement

Characterizing genuine quantum resources and determining operational rules for their manipulation are crucial steps to appraise possibilities and limitations of quantum technologies. Two such key resources are nonclassicality, manifested as quantum superposition between reference states of a single system, and entanglement, capturing quantum correlations among two or more subsystems.Here we present a general formalism for the conversion of nonclassicality into multipartite entanglement, showing that a faithful reversible transformation between the two resources is always possible within a precise resource-theoretic framework. Specializing to quantum coherence between the levels of a quantum system as an instance of nonclassicality, we introduce explicit protocols for such a mapping. We further show that the conversion relates multilevel coherence and multipartite entanglement not only qualitatively, but also quantitatively, restricting the amount of entanglement achievable in the process and in particular yielding an equality between the two resources when quantified by fidelity-based geometric measures.

We study the properties of coherence concurrence and present a physical explanation analogous to the coherence of assistance. We give an optimal pure state decomposition which attains the coherence concurrence for qubit states. We prove the additivity of coherence concurrence under direct sum operations in another way. Using these results, we calculate analytically the coherence concurrence for X states and show its optimal decompositions. Moreover, we show that the coherence concurrence is exactly twice the convex roof extended negativity of the Schmidt correlated states, thus establishing a direct relation between coherence concurrence and quantum entanglement.
