Abstract

A nice and interesting property of any pure tensor-product state is that each such state has distillable entangled states at an arbitrarily small distance ϵ\epsilon in its neighborhood. We say that such nearby states are ϵ\epsilon-entangled, and we call the tensor product state in that case, a "boundary separable state", as there is entanglement at any distance from this "boundary". Here we find a huge class of separable states that also share that property mentioned above -- they all have ϵ\epsilon-entangled states at any small distance in their neighborhood. Furthermore, the entanglement they have is proven to be distillable. We then extend this result to the discordant/classical cut and show that all classical states (correlated and uncorrelated) have discordant states at distance ϵ\epsilon, and provide a constructive method for finding ϵ\epsilon-discordant states.
