Entanglement is a fundamental aspect of quantum physics, both conceptually and for its many applications. Classifying an arbitrary multipartite state as entangled or separable -- a task referred to as the separability problem -- poses a…
Quantum state purification, which operates not by identifying and correcting specific errors but by repeatedly projecting multiple noisy copies onto special subspaces, provides a syndrome-free alternative to quantum error correction.…
We give a proof that entanglement purification, even with noisy apparatus, is sufficient to disentangle an eavesdropper (Eve) from the communication channel. Our proof applies to all possible attacks (individual and coherent). Due to the…
We investigate the probabilistic cloning and purification of quantum states. The performance of these probabilistic operations is quantified by the average fidelity between the ideal and actual output states. We provide a simple formula for…
Entanglement distillation is the process of converting noisy entangled states into maximally entangled pure states via local operations and classical communication. A long-standing, unresolved question is which entangled states are amenable…
We consider unambiguous discrimination of two separable bipartite states, one being pure and the other being a rank-2 mixed state. There is a gap between the optimal success probability under global measurements and the one achieved by…
Quantum entanglement of pure states is usually quantified via the entanglement entropy, the von Neumann entropy of the reduced state. Entanglement entropy is closely related to entanglement distillation, a process for converting quantum…
Quantum data-center networks must distribute entanglement between QPUs over paths whose length grows with system scale, but each entanglement-swapping step reduces the quality of the raw end-to-end state. Topology, multiplexing, and…
We exhibit an orthogonal set of product states of two three-state particles that nevertheless cannot be reliably distinguished by a pair of separated observers ignorant of which of the states has been presented to them, even if the…
Assume that Alice, Bob, and Charlie share a tripartite pure state $|\psi_{ABC}\rangle$. We prove that if Alice cannot distill entanglement with either Bob or Charlie using $|\psi_{ABC}\rangle$ and local operations with any one of the…
It is not a general opinion that that a quantum system could be purified into a target eigenstate via repeated measurements on a coupled qubit rather than direct transitions in the Hamiltonian. The projective measurement on the ancillary…
In conformal field theories, in contrast to \emph{adding} some auxiliary states into the bipartite mixed state $\rho_{AB}$ as the usual purifications do, we show a pure entangled state $\psi_{AB}$ can be constructed by \emph{subtracting}…
A new purification scheme is proposed which applies to arbitrary dimensional bipartite quantum systems. It is based on the repeated application of a special class of nonlinear quantum maps and a single, local unitary operation. This special…
Analog and digital quantum simulators can efficiently simulate quantum many-body systems that appear in natural phenomena. However, experimental limitations of near-term devices still make it challenging to perform the entire process of…
We study the task of lifting arbitrary quantum states and channels to purifications and Stinespring dilations, respectively, in both the probabilistic exact and deterministic approximate settings. We formalize this task through a general…
For a pure state $\psi$ on a composite system $\mathcal{H}_A\otimes\mathcal{H}_B$, both the entanglement cost $E_C(\psi)$ and the distillable entanglement $E_D(\psi)$ coincide with the von Neumann entropy $H(\mathrm{Tr}_{B}\psi)$.…
We consider the problem of how to manipulate the entanglement properties of a general two-particle pure state, shared between Alice and Bob, by using only local operations at each end and classical communication between Alice and Bob. A…
We present an efficient entanglement purification protocol with hyperentanglement in which additional spatial entanglement is utilized to purify the two-particle polarization-entangled state. The bit-flip error and phase-flip error can be…
If a quantum system is subject to noise, it is possible to perform quantum error correction reversing the action of the noise if and only if no information about the system's quantum state leaks to the environment. In this article, we…
The operational axiomatization of quantum theory can be regarded as a set of six epistemological rules for falsifying propositions of the theory. In particular, the Purification postulate-the only one that is not shared with classical…
