Part I of this thesis studies the problem of optimally converting a single copy of an arbitrary quantum state into maximally resourceful states. Specifically, in the resource theory of coherence, the ideal rate for this conversion is found when assisted by a distant party with whom one shares a quantum state. The optimal distillation of a target pure state in a more general resource theory framework is then studied with minimal assumptions regarding the physical resource. Part II of this thesis studies the problem of error correction in linear quantum optics. An encoding using W-states is introduced which is easily implementable using current technology without feed-forward and it shown that this encoding is robust against independent dephasing errors.
