Abstract

Having a suitable measure to quantify the coherence of quantum states, a natural task is to evaluate the power of quantum channels for creating or destroying the coherence of input quantum states. In the present paper, by introducing the maximal coherent Gaussian states based on the relative entropy measure of coherence, we propose the (generalized) cohering power and the (generalized) decohering power of Gaussian unitary operations for continuous-variable systems. Some basic properties are obtained and the cohering power and decohering power of two special kinds of Gaussian unitary operations are calculated.
