On Two-Distillable Werner States

چکیده

We consider bipartite mixed states ρ in a d ⊗ d quantum system. We say that ρ is PPT if its partial transpose 1⊗ T(ρ) is positive semidefinite, and otherwise ρ is NPT. The well-known Werner states are divided into three types: (a) the separable states (the same as the PPT states); (b) the one-distillable states (necessarily NPT); and (c) the NPT states which are not one-distillable. We give several different formulations and provide further evidence for the validity of the conjecture that Werner states of type (c) are not two-distillable.

A semidefinite program for distillable entanglement

We show that the maximum fidelity obtained by a positive partial transpose (p.p.t.) distillation protocol is given by the solution to a certain semidefinite program. This gives a number of new lower and upper bounds on p.p.t. distillable entanglement (and thus new upper bounds on 2-locally distillable entanglement). In the presence of symmetry, the semidefinite program simplifies considerably, ...

Distillability and Positivity of Partial Transposes in General Quantum Field Systems

Criteria for distillability, and the property of having a positive partial transpose, are introduced for states of general bipartite quantum systems. The framework is sufficiently general to include systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, including quantum fields. We show that a large number of states in relativistic quantum field theory, including the vacuum state and thermal eq...

Quantum key distribution based on arbitrarily weak distillable entangled states.

States with private correlations but little or no distillable entanglement were recently reported. Here, we consider the secure distribution of such states, i.e., the situation when an adversary gives two parties such states and they have to verify privacy. We present a protocol which enables the parties to extract from such untrusted states an arbitrarily long and secure key, even though the a...

Distillability via protocols respecting the positivity of partial transpose.

We show that all quantum states that do not have a positive partial transpose are distillable via channels, which preserve the positivity of the partial transpose. The question whether bound entangled states with non-positive partial transpose exist is therefore closely related to the connection between the set of separable superoperators and positive partial transpose-preserving maps.

Distillable entanglement (E d) is one of the acceptable measures of entanglement of mixed states. Based on discrimination through local operation and classical communication, this paper gives E d for two classes of orthogonal multipartite maximally entangled states.
