Distillability Criterion for all Bipartite Gaussian States

Quantum Physics 2013-05-29 v2

Abstract

We prove that all inseparable Gaussian states of two modes can be distilled into maximally entangled pure states by local operations. Using this result we show that a bipartite Gaussian state of arbitrarily many modes can be distilled if and only if its partial transpose is not positive.
