In this paper, we study the one-way local operations and classical communication (LOCC) problem. In $\mathbb{C}^d\otimes\mathbb{C}^d$ with $d\geq4$, we construct a set of $3\lceil\sqrt{d}\rceil-1$ one-way LOCC indistinguishable maximally…

An orthogonal product basis of a composite Hilbert space is genuinely nonlocal if the basis states are locally indistinguishable across every bipartition. From an operational point of view such a basis corresponds to a separable measurement…
