DESCRIPTION:Robustness is a general approach to quantifying resources in a
  theory where there is a convex subset of non-resources. This applies\, fo
 r example\, to entanglement\, as well as asymmetry and coherence. An appro
 ach based on robustness naturally allows one to use efficient and illumina
 ting optimization techniques like semidefinite programming\, and can be re
 lated to quantum tasks dealing with process discrimination/metrology. I wi
 ll review some recent results in a number of cases\, including the mention
 ed entanglement\, asymmetry\, and coherence.
