| Outline of Research at the Start |
Some well-known features of quantum theory, such as quantum entanglement and quantum coherence, have moved from being qualitative traits of the theory to becoming tangible resources, with the potential to unlock various novel tasks in computation and communication. Such a resource-theoretic viewpoint on quantum theory has recently become mainstream in quantum information sciences. This project aims to investigate quantum resource theories as problems of statistical decision and inference, bringing in tools and insights from operator algebra and mathematical statistics.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During FY2023, two very important papers for this project were finally published. One is the paper: "Unifying different notions of quantum incompatibility into a strict hierarchy of resource theories of communication" and the other is: "A complete and operational resource theory of measurement sharpness". These papers lay the foundations for a coherent resource-theoretic characterization of quantum measurement processes. The first paper deals with the notion of incompatibility, which was clear for POVMs but was hotly debated in the case of instruments, and finally settles the situation by introducing an overarching framework to unify and harmonize pervious proposals. The second paper instead deals with the notion of sharpness, which we relate to the operational idea of repeatability. Moreover, a coherent framework for sharpness-non-increasing operations, something that other researchers have been looking for in the past, has been finally obtained. In addition, another resource-theoretic result was obtained: "Generalized resource theory of purity: one-shot purity distillation with local noisy operations and one way classical communication". The resource theory of purity plays an important role in modern formulations of quantum thermodynamics, and here we study the case of two players cooperating in the task.

Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The number of papers published this year is particularly high (see later). Among these, three papers were among the main goals of the present project, and all of them have been published in good journals.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This project has been extended for another year. The reason is that the final journal paper of "Generalized resource theory of purity: one-shot purity distillation with local noisy operations and one-way classical communication" is still in preparation. (Currently only a proceeding version has been published.) The remaining funds will be used to facilitate the international collaboration on which this paper is based.
