Unified quantification of nonclassicality and entanglement

arXiv:1401.5222 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.89.052302

Abstract

The nonclassicality of single-mode quantum states is studied in relation to the entanglement created by a beam splitter. It is shown that properly defined quantifications -- based on the quantum superposition principle -- of the amounts of nonclassicality and entanglement are strictly related to each other. This can be generalized to the amount of genuine multipartite entanglement, created from a nonclassical state by an N splitter. As a consequence, a single-mode state of a given amount of nonclassicality is fully equivalent, as a resource, to exactly the same amount of entanglement. This relation is also considered in the context of multipartite entanglement and multimode nonclassicality.
