Monogamy and trade-off relations for correlated quantum coherence

Abstract: One of the fundamental differences between classical and quantum mechanics is in the ways correlations can be distributed among the many parties that compose a system. While classical correlations can be shared among many subsystems, in general quantum correlations cannot be freely shared. This unique property is known as monogamy of quantum correlations. In this work, we study the monogamy properties of the correlated coherence for the l 1 -norm and relative entropy measures of coherence. For the l 1 -norm the correlated coherence is monogamous for a particular class of quantum states. For the relative entropy of coherence, and using maximally mixed state as the reference incoherent state, we show that the correlated coherence is monogamous for tripartite pure quantum systems.
