Coherent states have three main properties: coherence, overcompleteness and intrinsic geometrization. These unique properties play fundamental roles in field theory, especially, in the description of classical domains and quantum…
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…

Many protocols require precise rotation measurement. Here we present a general class of states that surpass the shot noise limit for measuring rotation around arbitrary axes. We then derive a quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound for simultaneously…
