Quantum coherence quantifiers based on the Rényi $α$-relative entropy

Abstract

The resource theories of quantum coherence attract a lot of attention in recent years. Especially, the monotonicity property plays a crucial role here. In this paper we investigate the monotonicity property for the coherence measures induced by the Rényi $α$-relative entropy which present in [Phys. Rev. A 94, 052336, 2016]. We show that the Rényi $α$-relative entropy of coherence does not in general satisfy the monotonicity requirement under the subselection of measurements condition and it also does not satisfy the extension of monotonicity requirement which presents in [Phys. Rev. A 93, 032136, 2016]. Due to the Rényi $α$-relative entropy of coherence can act as a coherence monotone quantifier, we examine the trade-off relations between coherence and mixedness. Finally, some properties for the single qubit of Rényi $2$-relative entropy of coherence are derived.
