We propose an alternative framework for quantifying coherence. The framework is based on a natural property of coherence, the additivity of coherence for subspace-independent states, which is described by an operation-independent equality…
Set coherence is a basis-independent relational form of quantum coherence: a finite family of quantum states is set incoherent exactly when all its members are diagonal in one common basis. We determine how much low-order Bargmann data are…
