Infinite number of conditions for local mixed state manipulations

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

It is shown that a finite number of conditions are {\em not} sufficient to determine the locality of transformations between two probability distributions of pure states as well as the locality of transformations between two d×dd\times d mixed states with d4d\geq 4. As an example, an infinite, but minimal, set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a local procedure that converts one probability distribution of two pure pair of qubits into another one is found.
