Coherence is a fundamental resource in quantum information processing, which can be certified by a coherence witness. In order to detect all the coherent states, we introduce a useful concept of coherence witness and structure the set of coherence witnesses C[m,M]d. We present necessary and sufficient conditions of detecting quantum coherence of d−dimensional quantum states based on C[m,M]d. Moreover, we show that each coherent state can be detected by one of the coherence witnesses in a finite set. The corresponding finite set of coherence witnesses is presented explicitly, which detects all the coherent states.
