Irreversibility of entanglement distillation for a class of symmetric states
Irreversibility of entanglement distillation for a class of symmetric states
We investigate the irreversibility of entanglement distillation for a symmetric d-1 parameter family of mixed bipartite quantum states acting on Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimension d x d. We prove that in this family the entanglement cost is generically strictly larger than the distillable entanglement, such that the set of …
