Having a suitable measure to quantify the coherence of quantum states, a natural task is to evaluate the power of quantum channels for creating or destroying the coherence of input quantum states. In the present paper, by introducing the maximal coherent Gaussian states based on the relative entropy measure of coherence, we propose the (generalized) cohering power and the (generalized) decohering power of Gaussian unitary operations for continuous-variable systems. Some basic properties are obtained and the cohering power and decohering power of two special kinds of Gaussian unitary operations are calculated.

In this paper, we generalized the concepts of the cohering power and decohering power to Gaussian channels for continuous-variable systems with respect to coherence measures based on the relative entropy and obtained some basic properties. In addition, the cohering power and decohering power of classical noise channels, thermal noise channels and amplifier channels are calculated.

Let ρ1, ρ2 be quantum states and (ρ1, ρ2) 7→ D(ρ1, ρ2) be a scalar function such as the trace distance, the fidelity, and the relative entropy, etc. We determine optimal bounds for D(ρ1, Φ(ρ2)) for Φ blongs to S for different class of functions D(·, ·), where S is the set of unitary quantum channels, the set of mixed unitary channels, the set of unital quantum channels, and the set of all quantum channels.

It is well-known that any quantum channel E satisfies the data processing inequality (DPI), with respect to various divergences, e.g., quantum χκ2 divergences and quantum relative entropy. More specifically, the data processing inequality states that the divergence between two arbitrary quantum states ρ and σ does not increase under the action of any quantum channel E. For a fixed channel E and a state σ, the divergence between output states E(ρ) and E(σ) might be strictly smaller than the divergence between input states ρ and σ, which is characterized by the strong data processing inequality (SDPI). Among various input states ρ, the largest value of the rate of contraction is known as the SDPI constant. An important and widely studied property for classical channels is that SDPI constants tensorize. In this paper, we extend the tensorization property to the quantum regime: we establish the tensorization of SDPIs for the quantum χκ1/22 divergence for arbitrary quantum channels and also for a family of χκ2 divergences (with κ≥κ1/2) for arbitrary quantum-classical channels.

In the real multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problems, there will be an interactive relationship among different decision makers (DMs). To identify the overall influence, we define the Shapley value as the DM’s weight. Entropy is a measure which makes it better than similarity measures to recognize a group decision making problem. Since we propose a relative entropy to measure the difference between two systems, which improves the accuracy of the distance measure.In this paper, a MCGDM approach named as TODIM is presented under q-rung orthopair fuzzy information.The proposed TODIM approach is developed for correlative MCGDM problems, in which the weights of the DMs are calculated in terms of Shapley values and the dominance matrices are evaluated based on relative entropy measure with q-rung orthopair fuzzy information.Furthermore, the efficacy of the proposed Gq-ROFWA operator and the novel TODIM is demonstrated through a selection problem of modern enterprises risk investment. A comparative analysis with existing methods is presented to validate the efficiency of the approach.

Quantum coherence is an important physical resource in quantum information science, and also as one of the most fundamental and striking features in quantum physics. In this paper, we obtain a symmetry-like relation of relative entropy measure $C_r(\rho)$ of coherence for $n$-partite quantum states $\rho$, which gives lower and upper bounds for $C_r(\rho)$. Meanwhile, we discuss the conjecture about the validity of the inequality $C_r(\rho)\leq C_{\ell_1}(\rho)$ for any state $\rho$. We observe that every mixture $\eta$ of a state $\rho$ satisfying $C_r(\rho)\leq C_{\ell_1}(\rho)$ and any incoherent state $\sigma$ also satisfies the conjecture. We also note that if the von Neumann entropy is defined by the natural logarithm $\ln$ instead of $\log_2$, then the reduced relative entropy measure of coherence $\bar{C}_r(\rho)=-\rho_{\rm{diag}}\ln \rho_{\rm{diag}}+\rho\ln \rho$ satisfies the inequality ${\bar{C}}_r(\rho)\leq C_{\ell_1}(\rho)$ for any mixed state $\rho$.

A minimal energy quantum superposition of two maximally distinguishable, isoenergetic single mode Gaussian states is used to construct the system-environment representation of a class of linear bosonic quantum channels acting on a single bosonic mode. The quantum channels are further defined by unitary dynamics of the system and environment corresponding to either a passive linear optical element U_{BS} or two-mode squeezing U_{TM}. The notion of nonclassicality distance is used to show that the initial environment superposition state becomes maximally nonclassical as the constraint energy is increased. When the system is initially prepared in a coherent state, application of the quantum channel defined by U_{BS} results in a nonclassical state for all values of the environment energy constraint. We also discuss the following properties of the quantum channels: 1) the maximal noise that a coherent system can tolerate, beyond which the linear bosonic attenuator channel defined by U_{BS} cannot impart nonclassical correlations to the system, 2) the noise added to a coherent system by the phase-preserving linear amplification channel defined by U_{TM}, and 3) a generic lower bound for the trace norm contraction coefficient on the closed, convex hull of energy-constrained Gaussian states.

In this work, we provide a strengthening of the data processing inequality for the relative entropy introduced by Belavkin and Staszewski (BS-entropy). This extends previous results by Carlen and Vershynina for the relative entropy and other standard [Formula: see text]-divergences. To this end, we provide two new equivalent conditions for the equality case of the data processing inequality for the BS-entropy. Subsequently, we extend our result to a larger class of maximal [Formula: see text]-divergences. Here, we first focus on quantum channels which are conditional expectations onto subalgebras and use the Stinespring dilation to lift our results to arbitrary quantum channels.

Quantum dialogue can realize the mutual transmission of secret information between two legal users. In most of the existing quantum dialogue protocols, the information carriers applied in quantum dialogue are discrete variable (DV) quantum states. However, there are certain limitations on the preparation and detection of DV quantum states with current techniques. Continuous variable (CV) quantum states can overcome these problems effectively while improving the quantum channel capacity. In this paper, we propose a quantum dialogue protocol with four-mode continuous variable GHZ state. Compared with the existing CV-based quantum dialogue protocols, the protocol allows two users to transmit two groups of secret information with different lengths to each other simultaneously. The channel capacity of the protocol has been improved as each traveling mode carries two- or four-bits of information. In addition, the protocol has been proved to be secure against information leakage problem and some common attacks, such as beam splitter attack and intercept-and-resend attack.
