Coherence manipulation under incoherent operations

Coherence manipulation is fundamental in the study of the resource theory of quantum coherence. It is aimed at identifying when it is possible to convert a given coherent state to another using only incoherent operations. In this paper, it is shown that a finite number of measure conditions are not sufficient to characterize coherence manipulation on general mixed states. Further, a finite number of measure conditions to classify coherence manipulation on subspace-independent states are found. For the input pure state, we also furnish a structural characterization of coherence manipulation in terms of a finite number of measure conditions.
