Geometric-Like imaginarity: quantification and state conversion

Abstract

From the perspective of resource-theoretic approach, this study explores the quantification of imaginary in quantum physics. We propose a well defined measure of imaginarity, the geometric-like measure of imaginarity. Compared with the usual geometric imaginarity measure, this geometric-like measure of imaginarity exhibits smaller decay difference under quantum noisy channels and higher stability. As applications, we show that both the optimal probability of state transformations from a pure state to an arbitrary mixed state via real operations, and the maximal probability of stochastic-approximate state transformations from a pure state to an arbitrary mixed state via real operations with a given fidelity $f$, are given by the geometric-like measure of imaginarity.
