• Abstract: Quantum coherence, rooted in the superposition nature of quantum mechanics, is one core quantum resource in quantum technologies. Until now, various measures, operational interpretations and generalizations about coherence have been proposed. In recent years, the role of coherence in quantum dynamics and technologies has attracted much attention. In this work, we fully exhibit the effect of coherence in unitary evolutions. Firstly, by introducing the new concept, average quantum distance, we show that for time-independent Hamiltonians, quantum coherence is the average evolution speed and vice versa. Secondly, beyond this average setting, for general cases, we show that how coherence and Hamiltonians' eigenvalues determine the instantaneous evolution speed together, where their trade-off is actually the energy uncertainty. Our results definitely clarify the role coherence playing in quantum systems' dynamics, paving one new way for research about quantum resources in dynamical processes.

  We specialize our discussions to the one-dimensional transverse field quantum Ising model in the coherent Gibbs state. We find that quantum coherence not only recovers the quantum phase transition destroyed by thermal fluctuations. It can be manifested that these singularities are rooted in spin flips causing the sudden change of the domain boundaries of spin polarization.
