dc.description.abstractMany quantum information processing tasks require the consumption of various types of informational resource. Entanglement is a well-studied example of this type of resource; frameness is another. Both types of resource may be quantified through the use of realvalued functions known as monotones, a collection of which can fully characterize the resourcefulness of a state. A complete characterization of the entanglement or frameness of even a finite-dimensional quantum state might require an infinite collection of monotones, despite finiteness of the descriptions of the states in question. We propose a new framework of relative monotones. A relative monotone quantifies the resourcefulness of a quantum state relative to another quantum state. We give an example of the efficacy of relative monotones by characterizing a simple type of frameness with a single relative monotone. This type of frameness is unlikely to yield to analysis with 'absolute' monotones.en
