Characterizing quantum networks: Insights from coherence theory
Tristan Kraft, Cornelia Spee, Xiao‐Dong Yu, Otfried Gühne
Abstract
Networks based on entangled quantum systems enable interesting applications in quantum information processing and the understanding of the resulting quantum correlations is essential for advancing the technology. We show that the theory of quantum coherence provides powerful tools for analyzing this problem. For that, we demonstrate that a recently proposed approach to network correlations based on covariance matrices can be improved and analytically evaluated for the most important cases.
