Quantum interference phenomena have been identified as a versatile resource for quantum information processing, leading to the notion of quantum coherence. In this contribution, we discuss the concept of temporal quantum coherence. In contrast to the commonly applied input-output formalism, we assess the quantum coherence of a process by deriving equations of motions for the classical, i.e., incoherent, evolution of a system. When compared to the quantum dynamics, this approach enables us to study the quantum properties of a system's evolution itself, independently of or in conjunction with the coherence of initial and final states. As an example, we apply our theoretical framework to characterize the dynamics of entanglement, being one form of quantum coherence, in correlated many-body systems.
