• Abstract: Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an informationally complete representation of a quantum state. Recent works have revealed the important roles played by the KD quasiprobability in the broad fields of quantum science and quantum technology. In the present work, we use the KD quasiprobability to access the quantum coherence in a quantum state. We show that the $l_1$-norm of the imaginary part of the KD quasiprobability over an incoherent reference basis and a second basis, maximized over all possible choices of the latter, can be used to quantify quantum coherence, satisfying certain desirable properties. It is upper bounded by the quantum uncertainty, i.e., the quantum standard deviation, of the incoherent basis in the state. It gives a lower bound to the $l_1$-norm quantum coherence, and for a single qubit, they are identical. We discuss the measurement of the KD coherence based on the measurement of the KD quasiprobability and an optimization procedure in hybrid quantum-classical schemes, and suggest statistical interpretations. We also discuss its relevance in the physics of linear response regime.

  We calculate the lowest energy eigenvalue of active space Hamiltonians of industrially relevant and strongly correlated metal chelates on trapped ion quantum hardware. We are able to achieve chemical accuracy by training a variational quantum algorithm on quantum hardware, followed by a classical diagonalization in the subspace of states measured as outputs of the quantum circuit.

  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  A general quantum correlation, wherein entanglement is a subset, has been recognized as a resource in a variety of schemes of quantum information processing and quantum technology. We show that it satisfies certain requirements expected for a quantifier of general quantum correlations. Our results suggest a deep connection between the general quantum correlation and the nonclassical values of the KD quasiprobability and the associated strange weak values.
