Quantifying coherence of quantum channels based on the generalized $\hat{I}\pm$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy

Abstract

By using the Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, we propose a well-defined coherence measure of quantum channels based on the generalized $\hat{I}\pm$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy. In addition, we present an alternative coherence measure of quantum channels by quantifying the commutativity between the channels and the completely dephasing channels with the generalized $\hat{I}\pm$-$z$-relative Rényi entropy. Some elegant properties of the measures are illustrated in detail. Explicit formulas of these coherence measures are derived for some detailed typical quantum channels.
