Abstract
Control at the interface between the classical and the quantum world is fundamental in quantum physics. In particular, how classical control is enhanced by coherence effects is an important question both from a theoretical as well as from a technological point of view. In this work, we establish a resource theory describing this setting and explore relations to the theory of coherence, entanglement and information processing. Specifically, for the coherent control of quantum systems the relevant resources of entanglement and coherence are found to be equivalent and closely related to a measure of discord. The results are then applied to the DQC1 protocol and the precision of the final measurement is expressed in terms of the available resources.

On the characterization of entanglement

Guifre Vidal
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical characterization of these monotone magnitudes is presented, which are then related to optimal strategies of conversion of shared states, and more detailed results are presented for pure states of bipartite systems.

Quantum discord and its allies: a review of recent progress.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of concepts and methods associated with quantum discord and related topics is presented, as well as their possible connections with other aspects of quantum information and beyond, including quantum communication, quantum computation, many-body physics, and open quantum dynamics.

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

TL;DR: In this article, a general operational one-to-one mapping between coherence measures and entanglement measures is established, and tight observable lower bounds are provided for generalized concurrence and coherence concurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genuine quantum coherence

TL;DR: This framework captures coherence under additional constrains such as energy preservation and all genuinely incoherent operations are incoherent regardless of their particular experimental realization, and introduces the full class of operations with this property, which is called fully incoherent.

Quantifying Operations with an Application to Coherence.

TL;DR: This work presents two measures quantifying the ability of an operation to detect, i.e., to use, coherence, one of them with an operational interpretation, and provides methods to evaluate them.

Quantum discord: a measure of the quantumness of correlations.

TL;DR: This work shows that absence of entanglement does not imply classicality, and considers the vanishing of discord as a criterion for the preferred effectively classical states of a system, i.e., the pointer states.

Concentrating partial entanglement by local operations

TL;DR: Any pure or mixed entangled state of two systems can be produced by two classically communicating separated observers, drawing on a supply of singlets as their sole source of entanglement.

Classical, quantum and total correlations

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of separating consistently the total correlations in a bipartite quantum state into a quantum and a purely classical part is discussed, and a measure of classical correlations is proposed and its properties are explored.

The classical-quantum boundary for correlations: Discord and related measures

TL;DR: Different methods for quantifying the quantum and classical parts of correlations are among the more actively studied topics of quantum-information theory over the past decade as mentioned in this paper and different notions of classical and quantum correlations quantified by quantum discord and other related measures are reviewed.

Quantum Discord and the Power of One Qubit

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use quantum discord to characterize the correlations present in the model called deterministic quantum computation with one quantum bit (DQC1), introduced by Knill and Laflamme [1998].
