Absorption capacity of separable noise: Bell-mixing thresholds on separability and teleportation
Abstract
We study Bell-mixing lines , where is a fixed Bell reference and is a separable two-qubit noise state. Along this line there are two operational crossings: the state becomes entangled, and it reaches quantum teleportation advantage over classical strategies. We package these crossings as capacities of the noise state. The entanglement absorption capacity is the largest amount of Bell reference that can absorb while the partial transpose remains positive. The fidelity absorption capacity is the largest amount of Bell reference that can absorb while keeping the maximal teleportation fidelity at or below the classical bound . The thresholds corresponding to the two crossing points are obtained from the same M\"obius map, and . We derive closed-form capacities and thresholds for product noise states and separable complex noise states. For product noise, depends only on local marginal purities, while also depends on orientation relative to the maximally entangled reference. For noise states, both capacities are explicit in all four Bell frames. We also study three extensions: arbitrary pure-state references, the evolution of noise states and their capacities under local amplitude-damping and dephasing channels, and decomposition certificates that give lower bounds on the capacities, hence on the thresholds, for general separable noise.
