Abstract
Resource theories play an important role in quantum information theory, as they identify resourceful states and channels that are potentially useful for the accomplishment of tasks that would be otherwise unreachable. The elementary structure of such theories, which is based on the definition of free states and free operations, successfully accommodates different nonclassical aspects, such as quantum coherence and entanglement, but it is still not clear whether and how far such formal framework can be extended. In this work, by taking information as the most primitive quantum resource and defining resource-destroying operations, we develop a unifying approach that proves able to encompass several nonclassical aspects, including the newly developed concepts of quantum irreality and realism-based nonlocality.
