In classical and quantum information theory, operational quantities such as the amount of randomness that can be extracted from a given source or the amount of space needed to store given data are normally characterized by one of two…
We study the convex set of all bipartite quantum states with fixed marginal states. The extremal states in this set have recently been characterized by Parthasarathy [Ann. Henri Poincar\'e (to appear), quant-ph/0307182, [1]]. Here we…
We investigate sampling procedures that certify that an arbitrary quantum state on $n$ subsystems is close to an ideal mixed state $\varphi^{\otimes n}$ for a given reference state $\varphi$, up to errors on a few positions. This task makes…
We construct a simplex for multipartite qubit states of even number n of qubits, which has the same geometry concerning separability, mixedness, kind of entanglement, amount of entanglement and nonlocality as the bipartite qubit states. We…
Entanglement is among the most fundamental-and at the same time puzzling-properties of quantum physics. Its modern description relies on a resource-theoretical approach, which treats entangled systems as a means to enable or accelerate…
Quantum state smoothing is a technique to estimate an unknown true state of an open quantum system based on partial measurement information both prior and posterior to the time of interest. In this paper, we show that the smoothed quantum…
We introduce the problem of *shadow tomography*: given an unknown $D$-dimensional quantum mixed state $\rho$, as well as known two-outcome measurements $E_{1},\ldots,E_{M}$, estimate the probability that $E_{i}$ accepts $\rho$, to within…
The relation between entanglement and nonlocality is discussed in the case of multipartite quantum systems. We show that, for any number of parties, there exist genuinely multipartite entangled states which admit a fully local hidden…
We discuss existence of mixed state of multicomponent system with given spectrum and given reduced density matrices. We give a complete solution of the problem in terms of linear inequalities on the spectra, accompanied with extensive…
We find that the asymptotic entanglement of assistance of a general bipartite mixed state is equal to the smaller of its two local entropies. Our protocol gives rise to the asymptotically optimal EPR pair distillation procedure for a given…
Bipartite entangled states between a qubit and macroscopically distinct states of a mesoscopic system, known as micro-macro entangled states, are emerging resources for quantum information processing. One main challenge in generating such…
We consider an arbitrary d_{1}\otimes d_{2}\otimes ... \otimes d_{N} composite quantum system and find necessary conditions for general m-party subsystem states to be the reduced states of a common N-party state. These conditions will lead…
We discuss the problem of characterizing upper bounds on entanglement in a bipartite quantum system when only the reduced density matrices (marginals) are known. In particular, starting from the known two-qubit case, we propose a family of…
Quantum entanglement measures of many-body states have been increasingly useful to characterize phases of matter. Here we explore a surprising connection between mixed state entanglement and 't Hooft anomaly. More specifically, we consider…
Estimating the state of an open quantum system monitored over time requires incorporating information from past measurements (filtering) and, for improved accuracy, also from future measurements (smoothing). While classical smoothing is…
The maximal overlap with the fully separable state for the multipartite entangled pure state with translational invariance is studied explicitly by some exact and numerical evaluations, focusing on the one-dimensional qubit system and some…
We are interested in the properties of multipartite entanglement of a system composed by $n$ $d$-level parties (qudits). Focussing our attention on pure states we want to tackle the problem of the maximization of the entanglement for such…
Recently, Anshu et al. introduced "partially" smoothed information measures and used them to derive tighter bounds for several information-processing tasks, including quantum state merging and privacy amplification against quantum…
Entangled systems in experiments may be lost or offline in distributed quantum information processing. This inspires a general problem to characterize quantum operations which result in breaking of entanglement or not. Our goal in this work…
Noncommutativity of states and observables is a fundamental signature of quantum theory, and a minimal requirement for nonclassicality. We provide a universal necessary and sufficient condition for pairwise commutativity of quantum states…
