Estimating coherence with respect to general quantum measurements

Abstract

The conventional coherence is defined with respect to a fixed orthonormal basis, i.e., to a von Neumann measurement. Recently, generalized quantum coherence with respect to general positive operator-valued measurements (POVMs) has been presented. Several well-defined coherence measures, such as the relative entropy of coherence CrC_{r}, the l1l_{1} norm of coherence Cl1C_{l_{1}} and the coherence CT,αC_{T,\alpha } based on Tsallis relative entropy with respect to general POVMs have been obtained. In this work, we investigate the properties of CrC_{r}, l1l_{1} and CT,αC_{T,\alpha }. We estimate the upper bounds of Cl1C_{l_{1}}; we show that the minimal error probability of the least square measurement state discrimination is given by CT,1/2C_{T,1/2}; we derive the uncertainty relations given by CrC_{r}, and calculate the average values of CrC_{r}, CT,αC_{T,\alpha } and Cl1C_{l_{1}} over random pure quantum states. All these results include the corresponding results of the conventional coherence as special cases.
