Operational quantum resource theories : unified framework and applications

A major goal of quantum information science is to understand the relation between the properties of quantum features and the enhancements to information processing tasks enabled by them. In particular, precise quantitative descriptions of quantum phenomena have become increasingly important not only for theoretical interest but also from a practical point of view as the recent technological advances have provided access to systems on small scales, in which quantum effects play major roles. As a platform to offer such quantitative treatments, quantum resource theory has been developed. This is an operationally motivated framework, which systematically deals with quantication and manipulation of the quantum effects by considering the quantities of interest as precious "resources" that cannot be freely created by the given sets of operations.
