Study of the Distillability of Werner States Using Entanglement Witnesses and Robust Semidefinite Programs

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We use Robust Semidefinite Programs and Entanglement Witnesses to study the distillability of Werner states. We perform exact numerical calculations which show 2-undistillability in a region of the state space which was previously conjectured to be undistillable. We also introduce bases which yield interesting expressions for the {\em distillability witnesses} and for a tensor product of Werner states with arbitrary number of copies.
