Unified framework for calculating convex roof resource measures

Xuanran Zhu, Chao Zhang, Zheng An +1 more

Quantum resource theories (QRTs) provide a comprehensive and practical framework for the analysis of diverse quantum phenomena. A fundamental task within QRTs is the quantification of resources inherent in a given quantum state. In this work, we introduce a unified computational framework for a class of widely utilized quantum resource measures, derived from convex roof extensions. We establish that the computation of these convex roof resource measures can be reformulated as an optimization problem over a Stiefel manifold, which can be further unconstrained through polar projection. Compared to existing methods employing semi-definite programming (SDP), gradient-based techniques or seesaw strategy, our approach not only demonstrates satisfying computational efficiency but also maintains applicability across various scenarios within a unified framework. We substantiate the efficacy of our method by applying it to several key quantum resources, including entanglement, coherence, and magic states. Moreover, our methodology can be readily extended to other convex roof quantities beyond the domain of resource theories, suggesting broad applicability in the realm of quantum information theory.

Unifying different notions of quantum incompatibility into a strict hierarchy of resource theories of communication

Francesco Buscemi, Kodai Kobayashi, Shintaro Minagawa +2 more

While there is general consensus on the definition of incompatible POVMs, moving up to the level of instruments one finds a much less clear situation, with mathematically different and logically independent definitions of incompatibility. Here we close this gap by introducing the notion of q − c o m p a t i b i l i t y , which unifies different notions of POVMs, channels, and instruments incompatibility into one hierarchy of resource theories of communication between separated parties. The resource theories that we obtain are c o m p l e t e , in the sense that they contain complete families of free operations and monotones providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a transformation. Furthermore, our framework is fully o p e r a t i o n a l , in the sense that free transformations are characterized explicitly, in terms of local operations aided by causally-constrained directed classical communication, and all monotones possess a game-theoretic interpretation making them experimentally measurable in principle. We are thus able to pinpoint exactly what each notion of incompatibility consists of, in terms of information-theoretic resources.
