The Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limits are two well-known evolution time estimates for isolated quantum systems. These bounds are usually formulated for fully distinguishable initial and final states, but both have…

We generalize the recently proposed resource theory of coherence (or superposition) [Baumgratz, Cramer & Plenio, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113:140401; Winter & Yang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116:120404] to the setting where not only the free ("incoherent")…

The speed of quantum evolution is limited under finite energy resources. While most quantum speed limits (QSLs) are formulated in terms of quantum states, they can be extended to the evolution operator itself, and thus impose fundamental…

In recent years, in quantum information theory, there has been a remarkable development in the general theoretical framework for studying symmetry in dynamics. This development, called resource theory of asymmetry, is expected to have a…

In one-dimensional random walks, the waiting time for each direction transitions is the same, even in the presence of bias, as a consequence of the microscopic-reversibility. We study the symmetry breaking of forward/ backward transition…

Nature imposes many restrictions on the operations that we perform. Many of these restrictions can be interpreted in terms of {\it resource} required to realize the operations. Classifying required resource for different types of operations…

Measurement incompatibility describes two or more quantum measurements whose expected joint outcome on a given system cannot be defined. This purely non-classical phenomenon provides a necessary ingredient in many quantum information tasks…

In quantum control, quantum speed limits provide fundamental lower bounds on the time that is needed to implement certain unitary transformations. Using Lie algebraic methods, we link these speed limits to symmetries of the control…

The minimal evolution time between two distinguishable states is of fundamental interest in quantum physics. Very recently Mirkin et al. argue that some most common quantum-speed-limit (QSL) bounds which depend on the actual evolution time…

Robustness measures are increasingly prominent resource quantifiers that have been introduced for quantum resource theories such as entanglement and coherence. Despite the generality of these measures, their usefulness is hindered by the…

Quantum speed limits such as the Mandelstam-Tamm or Margolus-Levitin bounds offer a quantitative formulation of the energy-time uncertainty principle that constrains dynamics over short times. We show that the spectral form factor, a…

We investigate a measure of quantum coherence and its extension to quantify quantum macroscopicity. The coherence measure can also quantify the asymmetry of a quantum state with respect to a given group transformation. We then show that a…

The concept of quantum speed limit-time (QSL) was initially introduced as a lower bound to the time interval that a given initial state $\psi_I$ may need so as to evolve into a state orthogonal to itself. Recently [V. Giovannetti, S. Lloyd,…
