The resource theory of coherence studies the operational value of superpositions in quantum technologies. A key question in this theory concerns the efficiency of manipulation and inter-conversion of the resource. Here we solve this…

Quantum data hiding is the existence of pairs of bipartite quantum states that are (almost) perfectly distinguishable with global measurements, yet close to indistinguishable when only measurements implementable with local operations and…

A longstanding belief in quantum tomography is that estimating a mixed state is far harder than estimating a pure state. This is borne out in the mathematics, where mixed state algorithms have always required more sophisticated techniques…

Rate-distortion (RD) theory is at the heart of lossy data compression. Here we aim to model the generalized RD (GRD) trade-off between the visual quality of a compressed video and its encoding profiles (e.g., bitrate and spatial…

Quantum autoencoder (QAE) compresses a bipartite quantum state into its subsystem by a self-checking mechanism. How to characterize the lost information in this process is essential to understand the compression mechanism of QAE\@. Here we…
