Operational Resource Theory of Coherence.
TLDR
An operational theory of coherence (or of superposition) in quantum systems is established, by focusing on the optimal rate of performance of certain tasks, by demonstrating that the coherence theory is generically an irreversible theory by a simple criterion that completely characterizes all reversible states.Abstract:
We establish an operational theory of coherence (or of superposition) in quantum systems, by focusing on the optimal rate of performance of certain tasks. Namely, we introduce the two basic concepts-"coherence distillation" and "coherence cost"-in the processing quantum states under so-called incoherent operations [Baumgratz, Cramer, and Plenio, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 140401 (2014)]. We, then, show that, in the asymptotic limit of many copies of a state, both are given by simple single-letter formulas: the distillable coherence is given by the relative entropy of coherence (in other words, we give the relative entropy of coherence its operational interpretation), and the coherence cost by the coherence of formation, which is an optimization over convex decompositions of the state. An immediate corollary is that there exists no bound coherent state in the sense that one would need to consume coherence to create the state, but no coherence could be distilled from it. Further, we demonstrate that the coherence theory is generically an irreversible theory by a simple criterion that completely characterizes all reversible states.read more

Quantum coherence, discord and correlation measures based on Tsallis relative entropy
TL;DR: This work introduces three new Tsallis coherence measures coming from a more general definition that also satisfy the strong monotonicity, and compares all five definitions between each other.
Finite-time quantum Otto engine with a squeezed thermal bath: Role of quantum coherence and squeezing in the performance and fluctuations
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors considered a two-level quantum Otto heat engine with two isochoric processes, where the system is alternatively coupled to a hot squeezed and a cold thermal reservoir, and two unitary driven strokes.

Currencies in Resource Theories.
Lea Kraemer,Lídia del Rio +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of currency to quantify realistic descriptions of resources, applicable in experimental settings when we do not have perfect control over a physical system, when only the neighbourhood of a state or some of its properties are known, or when slight correlations cannot be ruled out.
