TL;DR
The paper treats quantum-state texture (QST) as a resource and defines free CPTP maps $\Lambda$ with $\Lambda(f)=f$. It introduces two new QST measures and a convex-roof framework for constructing additional measures, linking QST to the Hellinger distance via a special case. It derives the maximal stochastic transformation probabilities for both pure and mixed state conversions under free operations and provides explicit Kraus constructions to achieve these bounds. Finally, it analyzes relations between QST and other quantum resources, including coherence, imaginarity, and predictability, across $l_{1}$-, $l_{2}$-norms and skew information, offering a cohesive theoretical foundation for QST resource theory and its potential applications.
Abstract
Quantum-state texture is a newly recognized quantum resource that has garnered attention with the advancement of quantum theory. In this work, we address several key aspects of quantum-state texture resource theory, including the quantification of quantum-state texture, quantum state transformation under free operations, and the relationships between quantum resources. We first propose two new measures of quantum-state texture and introduce a specific functional form for constructing such measures via the convex roof method. Then, we determine the maximum probability of quantum state transformation under free operations. Finally, we establish connections between quantum-state texture and other prominent quantum resources, such as coherence, imaginarity, and predictability. Our research contributes to the measure theory of quantum-state texture and enriches the overall framework of quantum-state texture resource theory.
