Abstract

Given an arbitrary state ρ\rho and some figure of merit E(ρ){\cal E}(\rho), it is usually a hard problem to determine the value of E(ρN){\cal E}(\rho^{\otimes N}). One noticeable exception is the case of additive measures, for which we simply have E(ρN)=Ne{\cal E}(\rho^{\otimes N}) = Ne, with eE(ρ)e\equiv {\cal E}(\rho). In this work we study measures that can be described by E(ρN)=E(e;N)Ne{\cal E}(\rho^{\otimes N}) =E(e;N) \ne Ne, that is, measures for which the amount of resources of NN copies is still determined by the single real variable ee, but in a nonlinear way. If, in addition, the measures are analytic around e=0e=0, recurrence relations can be found for the Maclaurin coefficients of EE for larger NN. As an example, we show that the 1\ell_1-norm of coherence is a nontrivial case of such a behavior.
