A resource-theoretic approach to vectorial coherence

Optics 2018-05-09 v2

Abstract

We propose a formal resource theoretic approach to asses the coherence between partially polarized electromagnetic fields. We show that naturally defined incoherent operations endow partial coherence with a preorder relation that must be respected by all coherence measures. We examine most previously introduced coherence measures from this perspective.
