• Abstract: Quantum coherence -- an indispensable resource for quantum technologies -- is known to be distillable from a noisy form using operations that cannot create it. However, distillation exacts a hidden coherent measurement cost, which has not previously been examined. We devise the target effect construction to characterize this cost through detailed conditions on the coherence-measuring structure necessary in any process realizing exact (maximal or non-maximal) or approximate distillation. As a corollary, we lower-bound the requisite measurement coherence, as quantified by operationally-relevant measures. We then consider the asymptotic limit of distilling from many copies of a given noisy coherent state, where we offer rigorous arguments to support the conjecture that the (necessary and sufficient) coherent measurement cost scales extensively in the number of copies. We also show that this cost is no smaller than the coherence of measurements saturating the scaling law in the generalized quantum Stein's lemma. Our results and conjectures apply to any task whereof coherence distillation is an incidental outcome (e.g., incoherent randomness extraction). But if pure coherence is the only desired outcome, our conjectures would have the cautionary implication that the measurement cost is often higher than the distilled yield, in which case coherence should rather be prepared afresh than distilled from a noisy input.

  We show that computational entanglement measures diverge significantly from information-theoretic counterparts. While the von Neumann entropy captures information-theoretic rates for pure-state transformations, we show that under computational constraints, the min-entropy governs optimal entanglement distillation. Our results establish a stark, maximal separation of $tildeOmega(n)$ vs. $o(1)$ between computational and information-theoretic entanglement measures.

• Surpassing the fundamental limits of distillation with catalysts [2.107610564835429]
  We show that quantum catalysts can help surpass previously known fundamental limitations on distillation overhead. In particular, in context of magic state distillation, our result indicates that the code-based low-overhead distillation protocols can be promoted to the one-shot setting. We demonstrate that enables a spacetime trade-off between overhead and success probability.

  Many-copy entanglement manipulation procedures allow for highly entangled pure states from noisy states. We show that using an entangled catalyst cannot enhance the singlet distillation rate of a distillable quantum state. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

• Distilling Nonlocality in Quantum Correlations [0.0]
  We study the prospect of nonlocality distillation, wherein, by applying a natural set of free operations (called wirings) on many copies of weakly nonlocal systems, one aims to generate correlations of higher nonlocal strength. In the simplest Bell scenario, we identify a protocol, namely, logical OR-AND wiring, that can distil nonlocality to significantly high degree starting from arbitrarily weak quantum nonlocal correlations.

  We introduce a variant of randomness extraction framework where free incoherent operations are allowed before the incoherent measurement. We show that the maximum number of random bits extractable from a given quantum state is precisely equal to the maximum number of coherent bits that can be distilled from the same state. Remarkably, the incoherent operation classes all admit the same second order expansions.
