Abstract:
Quantum coherence is a fundamental property that can emerge within
any quantum system. Incoherent operations, defined in terms of the
Kraus decomposition, take an important role in state transformation.
The maximum number of incoherent Kraus operators has been present in
[A. Streltsov, S. Rana, P. Boes, J. Eisert, Phys. Rev. Lett. 119.
140402 (2017)]. In this work, we show that the number of incoherent
Kraus operators for a single qubit can be reduce from 5 to 4 by
constructing a proper unitary matrix. For qutrit systems we further
obtain 32 incoherent Kraus operators, while the upper bound in the
research of Sterltsov gives 39 Kraus operators. Besides, we reduce
the number of strictly incoherent Kraus operators from more than 15
to 13. And we consider the state transformation via single qutrit
strictly incoherent operation and incoherent operation.
