• Abstract: A resource theory imposes a preorder over states, with one state being above another if the first can be converted to the second by a free operation, and where the set of free operations defines the notion of resourcefulness under study. In general, the location of a state in the preorder of one resource theory can constrain its location in the preorder of a different resource theory. It follows that there can be nontrivial dependence relations between different notions of resourcefulness. In this article, we lay out the conceptual and formal groundwork for the study of resource dependence relations. In particular, we note that the relations holding among a set of monotones that includes a complete set for each resource theory provides a full characterization of resource dependence relations. As an example, we consider three resource theories concerning the about-face asymmetry properties of a qubit along three mutually orthogonal axes on the Bloch ball, where about-face symmetry refers to a representation of $\mathbb{Z}_2$, consisting of the identity map and a $\pi$ rotation about the given axis. This example is sufficiently simple that we are able to derive a complete set of monotones for each resource theory and to determine all of the relations that hold among these monotones, thereby completely solving the problem of determining resource dependence relations. Nonetheless, we show that even in this simplest of examples, these relations are already quite nuanced.

• Quantum geometric tensor determines the i.i.d. conversion rate in the resource theory of asymmetry for any compact Lie group [0.0]
  The resource theory of asymmetry (RTA) is a resource-theoretic framework for investigating asymmetry as a resource to break constraints imposed by symmetries. We show that the quantum geometric tensor is an asymmetry monotone for pure states that determines the optimal approximate conversion rate. We also affirmatively prove the Marvian-Spekkens conjecture on reversible convertibility in RTA, which has remained unproven for a decade.

  This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization. We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors. We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

  An alternative perspective on steering is that Alice has no causal influence on the physical state of Bob's system. We develop a resource-theoretic treatment of correlations in EPR scenarios. We show that resource conversion under free operations in this paradigm can be evaluated with a single instance of a semidefinite program.

We introduce methods for the quantification of resources in general probabilistic theories (GPTs) We show that a given resource state enables in channel discrimination tasks over all resourceless states. We demonstrate applications of the robustness to several resources of physical relevance: optical nonclassicality, entanglement, genuine non-Gaussianity, and coherence.

• Monotones in General Resource Theories [0.0]

We present our results within a novel framework for resource theories in which the notion of composition is independent of the types of the resources involved.
