Lack of shared reference frames between parties imposes
superselection rules on states and operators.
Resources are states that can circumvent the restrictions.
Functions that behave monotonically on average quantify the
strength of mixed state resources.
A family of concurrence monotones exist for pure and mixed
states in an arbitrary but finite dimensional Hilbert space.
The asymptotic rate of preparation and distillation of a state to
refbits quantifies the state’s frameness.
For qubit states, a closed formula exists for the average
frameness cost.
We also have a distillation protocols for qubit states.
