Quantum coherence and quantum entanglement are two different manifestations of the superposition principle. In this article we show that the right choice of basis to be used to estimate coherence is the separable basis. The quantum…

We give a new separability criterion, a necessary condition for separability of $N$-partite quantum states. The criterion is based on the Bloch representation of a $N$-partite quantum state and makes use of multilinear algebra, in…

The notions of qubits and coherent states correspond to different physical systems and are described by specific formalisms. Qubits are associated with a two-dimensional Hilbert space and can be illustrated on the Bloch sphere. In contrast,…
