Resource-theoretic approach to vectorial coherence

We propose a formal resource-theoretic approach to assess the coherence between partially polarized electromagnetic fields. From this framework, we identify two resource theories for the vectorial coherence: polarization-sensitive coherence and polarization-insensitive coherence. For each theory, we...

description We propose a formal resource-theoretic approach to assess the coherence between partially polarized electromagnetic fields.
