Coherence Trade-off relations in Multipartite systems

Abstract

Quantum coherence is investigated using a new measure with metric properties and entropic nature and decomposed into local and intrinsic contributions. The trade-off relation between these contributions as well as their distribution properties are studied for simple tripartite systems and the more complex spin chain model. We find that the coherence changes its nature with respect to the parameters of the quantum state under investigation.

Distribution of Quantum Coherence in Multipartite Systems

Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan, Manikandan Parthasarathy, Segar Jambulingam +1 more

The distribution of coherence in multipartite systems is examined. We use a new coherence measure with entropic nature and metric properties, based on the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence. The metric property allows for the coherence to be decomposed into various contributions, which arise from local and intrinsic coherences. We find that there are trade-off relations between the various contributions of coherence, as a function of parameters of the quantum state. In bipartite systems the coherence resides on individual sites or is distributed among the sites, which contribute in a complementary way. In more complex systems, the characteristics of the coherence can display more subtle changes with respect to the parameters of the quantum state. In the case of the XXZ Heisenberg model, the coherence changes from a monogamous to a polygamous nature. This allows us to define the shareability of coherence, leading to monogamy relations for coherence.

Experimental study of quantum coherence decomposition and trade-off relations in a tripartite system

Zhe Ding, Ran Liu, Chandrashekar Radhakrishnan +6 more

Abstract Quantum coherence is the most fundamental of all quantum quantifiers, underlying other well-known quantities such as entanglement. It can be distributed in a multipartite system in various ways—for example, in a bipartite system it can exist within subsystems (local coherence) or collectively between the subsystems (global coherence), and exhibits a trade-off relation. In this paper, we experimentally verify these coherence trade-off relations in adiabatically evolved nuclear spin systems using an NMR spectrometer. We study the full set of coherence trade-off relations between the original state, the bipartite product state, the tripartite product state, and the decohered product state. We also experimentally verify the monogamy inequality and show that both the quantum systems are polygamous during the evolution. We find that the properties of the state in terms of coherence and monogamy are equivalent. This illustrates the utility of using coherence as a characterization tool for quantum states.

Coherence distribution in multipartite systems

Zhengjun Xi

Abstract This paper examines the coherence in multipartite systems. We first discuss the distribution of total coherence in a given multipartite quantum state into discord between subsystems and coherent dissonance in each individual subsystem, using the relative entropy as a distance measure. Then we give some trade-off relations between various types of coherence and discord within a bipartite system, and extend these results to the multipartite setting. Finally, the change of coherence in entanglement distribution is studied.

Unification of coherence and quantum correlations in tripartite systems

Dong-Dong Dong, Geng-Biao Wei, Xue‐Ke Song +2 more

In quantum resource theories (QRTs), evidence of intrinsic connections between coherence and quantum correlations, including Bell nonlocality, entanglement, quantum steering, and so on, exists. However, building these relationships is a vital yet challenging task in multipartite quantum systems. Here, we focus on a unified framework of interpreting the interconversions among coherence and different quantum correlations in tripartite systems. In particular, an exact relation between the generalized geometric measure and the genuinely multipartite concurrence is derived for tripartite entanglement states. Then we obtain the trade-off relation between the first-order coherence and the genuine tripartite entanglement by the genuinely multipartite concurrence and concurrence fill. Furthermore, the trade-off relation between the maximum steering inequality violation and concurrence fill for arbitrary three-qubit states is found. In addition, we investigate the close relation between the maximum steering inequality violation and the first-order coherence. The results show that coherence and quantum correlations are intrinsically related and can be converted to one another in the framework of QRTs.

Uncertainty Relations for Quantum Coherence

Uttam Singh, Arun Kumar Pati, Manabendra Nath Bera

Coherence of a quantum state intrinsically depends on the choice of the reference basis. A natural question to ask is the following: if we use two or more incompatible reference bases, can there be some trade-off relation between the coherence measures in different reference bases? We show that the quantum coherence of a state as quantified by the relative entropy of coherence in two or more noncommuting reference bases respects uncertainty like relations for a given state of single and bipartite quantum systems. In the case of bipartite systems, we find that the presence of entanglement may tighten the above relation. Further, we find an upper bound on the sum of the relative entropies of coherence of bipartite quantum states in two noncommuting reference bases. Moreover, we provide an upper bound on the absolute value of the difference of the relative entropies of coherence calculated with respect to two incompatible bases.

Universal trade-off relation between coherence and intrinsic concurrence for two-qubit states

Xiao‐Gang Fan, Wen‐Yang Sun, Zhiyong Ding +4 more

Entanglement and coherence are two essential quantum resources for quantum information processing. A natural question arises of whether there are direct link between them. And by thinking about this question, we propose a new measure for quantum state that contains concurrence and is called intrinsic concurrence. Interestingly, we discover that the intrinsic concurrence is always complementary to coherence. Note that the intrinsic concurrence is related to the concurrence of a special pure state ensemble. In order to explain the trade-off relation more intuitively, we apply it in some composite systems composed by a single-qubit state coupling four typical noise channels with the aim at illustrating their mutual transformation relationship between their coherence and intrinsic concurrence. This unified trade-off relation will provide more flexibility in exploiting one resource to perform quantum tasks and also provide credible theoretical basis for the interconversion of the two important quantum resources.
