Quantum channels, also called quantum operations, are linear, trace preserving and completely positive transformations in the space of quantum states. Such operations describe discrete time evolution of an open quantum system interacting…
Quantum correlations between two or more different degrees of freedom of the same particle is sometimes referred to as intraparticle entanglement. In this work, we study these intra-particle correlations between two different degrees of…
Entanglement subject to noise can not be shielded against decaying. But, in case of many noisy channels, the degradation can be partially prevented by using local unitary operations. We consider the effect of local noise on shared quantum…

We analyze a class of entangled states for bipartite $d \otimes d$ systems, with $d$ non-prime. The entanglement of such states is revealed by the construction of canonically associated entanglement witnesses. The structure of the states is…
We investigate entanglement breaking times of Markovian evolutions in discrete and continuous time. In continuous time, we characterize which Markovian evolutions are eventually entanglement breaking, that is, evolutions for which there is…

This paper studies the class of stochastic maps, or channels, whose action (when tensored with the identity) on an entangled state always yields a separable state. Such maps have a canonical form introduced by Holevo. Such maps are called…
We propose a framework for Quantum Field Theory (QFT) studies that allows us to represent field excitations as quantum channels. We demonstrate inner-workings of the proposed scheme for two universal states: the regularized vacuum state of…
We construct multipartite entangled states with underlying W-type structure satisfying positive partial transpose (PPT) condition under any (N-1)|1 partition. Then we show how to distill N-partite secure key form the states using two…
The goal of entanglement distillation is to turn a large number of weakly entangled states into a smaller number of highly entangled ones. Practical entanglement distillation schemes offer a tradeoff between the fidelity to the target…

We show that bipartite quantum states of any dimension, which do not have a positive partial transpose, become 1-distillable when one adds an infinitesimal amount of bound entanglement. To this end we investigate the activation properties…
