A note on robustness of coherence for multipartite quantum states

Abstract

In this brief report, we prove that robustness of coherence (ROC), in contrast to many popular quantitative measures of quantum coherence derived from the resource theoretic framework of coherence, may be sub-additive for a specific class of multipartite quantum states. We investigate how the sub-additivity is affected by admixture with other classes of states for which ROC is super-additive. We show that pairs of quantum states may have different orderings with respect to relative entropy of coherence, $l_1$-norm of coherence and ROC and numerically study the difference in ordering for coherence measures chosen pairwise.
