It is shown that (i) all entangled states can be mapped by single-copy measurements into probability distributions containing secret correlations, and (ii) if a probability distribution obtained from a quantum state contains secret…

An entangled state is bound entangled, if one cannot combine any number of copies of the state to a maximally entangled state, by using only local operations and classical communication. If one formalizes this notion of bound entanglement,…
We prove, in a multipartite setting, that it's always feasible to exactly transform a genuinely $m$-partite entangled state with sufficient many copies to any other $m$-partite state via local quantum operation and classical communication.…
