The goal of qubit purification is to combine multiple noisy copies of an unknown pure quantum state to obtain one or more copies that are closer to the pure state. We show that a simple protocol based solely on random SWAP tests achieves…

Quantum resource theories use distillation protocols to convert less resourceful states into fully resourceful ones. However, these protocols often also generate an additional, unused output-referred to as a residual. We propose a framework…
