Unification of coherence and quantum correlations in tripartite systems

Abstract

In quantum resource theories (QRTs), there exists evidences of intrinsic connections among different measures of quantum resources, including entanglement, coherence, quantum steering, and so on. However, building the relations among different quantum resources is a vital yet challenging task in multipartite quantum systems. Here, we focus on a unified framework of interpreting the interconversions among different quantum resources in tripartite systems. In particular, an exact relation between the generalized geometric measure and the genuinely multipartite concurrence are derived for tripartite entanglement states. Then we obtain the tradeoff relation between the first-order coherence and the genuine tripartite entanglement by the genuinely multipartite concurrence and concurrence fill. Furthermore, the tradeoff relation between the maximum steering inequality violation and concurrence fill for an arbitrary three-qubit pure state is found. In addition, we investigate the close relation between the maximum steering inequality violation and the first-order coherence. The results show that these quantum resources are intrinsic related and can be converted to each other in the framework of QRTs, although they are still regarded to be different.
