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. 58 References [1] S. D. Bartlett, T. Rudolph and R. W. Spekkens, Rev. Mod. Phys. 79, 555 (2007) [2] G. Gour and R. W.
