Nature imposes many restrictions on the operations that we perform. Many of these restrictions can be interpreted in terms of {it resource} required to realize the operations. Classifying required resource for different types of operations and determining the amount of resource are the crucial subjects in physics. Among many types of operations, a unitary operation is one of the most fundamental operation that has been studied for long time in terms of the resource implicitly and explicitly. Yet, it is a long standing open problem to identify the resource and to clarify the necessary and sufficient amount of resource for implementing a general unitary operation under conservation laws. In this paper, we provide a solution to this open problem. We derive an asymptotically exact equality that clarifies the necessary and sufficient amount of quantum coherence as a resource to implement arbitrary unitary operation within a desired error. In this equality, the required coherence cost is asymptotically expressed with the implementation error and the degree of violation of conservation law in the desired unitary operation. We also discuss the underlying physics in several physical situations from the viewpoint of coherence cost based on the equality. This work does not only provide a solution to a long-standing problem on the unitary control, but also clarifies the key question of the resource theory of the quantum channels in the region of resource theory of asymmetry, for the case of unitary channels.

Uncertainty relations are one of the fundamental principles in physics. It began as a fundamental limitation in quantum mechanics, and today the word {it uncertainty relation} is a generic term for various trade-off relations in nature. In this letter, we improve the Kennard-Robertson uncertainty relation, and clarify how much coherence we need to implement quantum measurement under conservation laws. Our approach systematically improves and reproduces the previous various refinements of the Kennard-Robertson inequality. As a direct consequence of our inequalities, we improve a well-known limitation of quantum measurements, the Wigner-Araki-Yanase-Ozawa theorem. This improvement gives an asymptotic equality for the necessary and sufficient amount of coherence to implement a quantum measurement with the desired accuracy under conservation laws.
We prove that potential conservation laws have characteristics depending only on local variables if and only if they are induced by local conservation laws. Therefore, characteristics of pure potential conservation laws have to essentially depend on potential variables. This statement provides a significant generalization of results of the recent paper by Bluman, Cheviakov and Ivanova [J. Math. Phys., 2006, V.47, 113505]. Moreover, we present extensions to gauged potential systems, Abelian and general coverings and general foliated systems of differential equations. An example illustrating possible applications of proved statements is considered. A special version of the Hadamard lemma for fiber bundles and the notions of weighted jet spaces are proposed as new tools for the investigation of potential conservation laws.
The assumption that wave function collapse is induced by the interactions that generate decoherence leads to a stochastic collapse equation that does not require the introduction of any new physical constants and that is consistent with conservation laws. The collapse operator is based on the interaction energy, with a variable timing parameter related to the rate at which individual interactions generate the branching process. The approximate localization of physical systems follows from the distance-dependent nature of the interactions. The equation is consistent with strict conservation of momentum and orbital angular momentum, and it is also consistent with energy conservation within the accuracy allowed by the limited forms of energy that can be described within nonrelativistic theory. A relativistic extension of the proposal is outlined.
In driven-dissipative systems, the presence of a strong symmetry guarantees the existence of several steady states belonging to different symmetry sectors. Here we show that, when a system with a strong symmetry is initialized in a quantum superposition involving several of these sectors, each individual stochastic trajectory will randomly select a single one of them and remain there for the rest of the evolution. Since a strong symmetry implies a conservation law for the corresponding symmetry operator on the ensemble level, this selection of a single sector from an initial superposition entails a breakdown of this conservation law at the level of individual realizations. Given that such a superposition is impossible in a classical, stochastic trajectory, this is a a purely quantum effect with no classical analogue. Our results show that a system with a closed Liouvillian gap may exhibit, when monitored over a single run of an experiment, a behaviour completely opposite to the usual notion of dynamical phase coexistence and intermittency, which are typically considered hallmarks of a dissipative phase transition. We discuss our results with a simple, realistic model of squeezed superradiance.
When a gauge-natural invariant variational principle is assigned, to determine {em canonical} covariant conservation laws, the vertical part of gauge-natural lifts of infinitesimal principal automorphisms -- defining infinitesimal variations of sections of gauge-natural bundles -- must satisfy generalized Jacobi equations for the gauge-natural invariant Lagrangian. {em Vice versa} all vertical parts of gauge-natural lifts of infinitesimal principal automorphisms which are in the kernel of generalized Jacobi morphisms are generators of canonical covariant currents and superpotentials. In particular, only a few gauge-natural lifts can be considered as {em canonical} generators of covariant gauge-natural physical charges.
