  Quantum coherence and non-classical correlation are key features of quantum
world. Quantifying coherence and non-classical correlation are two key tasks in
quantum information theory. First, we present a bona fide measure of quantum
coherence by utilizing the Hellinger distance. This coherence measure is proven
to fulfill all the criteria of a well defined coherence measure, including the
strong monotonicity in the resource theories of quantum coherence. In terms of
this coherence measure, the distribution of quantum coherence in multipartite
systems is studied and a corresponding polygamy relation is proposed. Its
operational meanings and the relations between the generation of quantum
correlations and the coherence are also investigated. Moreover, we present
Hellinger distance-based measure of non-classical correlation, which not only
inherits the nice properties of the Hellinger distance including contractivity,
and but also shows a powerful analytic computability for a large class of
quantum states. We show that there is an explicit trade-off relation satisfied
by the quantum coherence and this non-classical correlation.
