The breakthrough of quantum error correction brought with it the picture of quantum information as a sort of combination of two complementary types of classical information, "amplitude" and "phase". Here I show how this intuition can be…

In this note we show that a recent existence result on quasiequilibrium problems, which seems to improve deeply some well-known results, is not correct. We exhibit a counterexample and we furnish a generalization of a lemma about continuous…

De Finetti theorems show how sufficiently exchangeable states are well-approximated by convex combinations of i.i.d. states. Recently, it was shown that in many quantum information applications a more relaxed de Finetti reduction (i.e. only…

The set of all separable quantum states is compact and convex. We focus on the two-qubit quanum system and study the boundary of the set. Then we give the criterion to determine whether a separable state is on the boundary. Some…

In this paper, we introduce the new concept of state complexity approximation, which is a further development of state complexity estimation. We show that this new concept is useful in both of the following two cases: the exact state…

Local available quantum correlations (LAQC), as defined by Mundarain et al., are analyzed for non-symmetric 2-qubit X states, that is, X-states that are not invariant under the exchange of subsystems and therefore have local Bloch vectors…

The quantum relative entropy is a fundamental quantity in quantum information science, characterizing the distinguishability between two quantum states. However, this quantity is not additive in general for correlated quantum states,…
