• Abstract summary: We introduce feasible methods to detect and estimate the coherence by constructing coherence witnesses for any finite-dimensional states. Our coherence witnesses detect coherent states by testing whether the expectation value of the witness is negative or not. Two typical coherence witnesses are proposed and discussed based on our witness-constructing method.

• Abstract: Quantum coherence has wide-ranging applications from quantum thermodynamics to quantum metrology, quantum channel discrimination and even quantum biology. Thus, detecting and quantifying coherence are two fundamental problems in quantum resource theory. Here, we introduce feasible methods to detect and estimate the coherence by constructing coherence witnesses for any finite-dimensional states. Our coherence witnesses detect coherent states by testing whether the expectation value of the witness is negative or not. Two typical coherence witnesses are proposed and discussed based on our witness-constructing method, which are also used to estimate the robustness of coherence, $l_1$-norm and $l_2$-norm of coherence measures. Furthermore, we compare one of our coherence witness with a previously introduced witness, by proving that our witness is strictly stronger than that previous witness. We also present an application of coherence in a quantum metrology task, in which we estimate an unknown parameter by measuring our coherence witness.

• Classifying coherence with a finite set of witnesses [0.07499722271664144]
  Coherence is a fundamental resource in quantum information processing, which can be certified by a coherence witness. We present necessary and sufficient conditions of detecting quantum coherence of $d-$dimensional quantum states based on $Cd_[m,M]$. The corresponding finite set of coherence witnesses is presented explicitly, which detects all the coherent states.

  We introduce a general method to construct entanglement witnesses based on the Schmidt decomposition of observables. The method works for two- and, more importantly, many-body systems and is strictly stronger than fidelity-based constructions. We present experimentally relevant examples, where our approach improves entanglement detection significantly.

  Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable. Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging. We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with dimension subsystem.
