We consider entanglement distillation under the assumption that the input states are allowed to be correlated among each other. We hence replace the usually considered independent and identically distributed hypothesis by the weaker assumption of merely having identical reductions. We find that whether a state is then distillable or not is only a property of these reductions, and not of the correlations that are present in the input state. This is shown by establishing an appealing relation…

Entanglement distillation by extendible maps
• Mathematics
Quantum Inf. Comput.
• 2013
This paper studies a possible approach to the question of whether maximally entangled states can be distilled from every state with a non-positive partial transpose by enlarging the class of operations allowed, and considers k-extendible operations, defined as maps whose Choi-Jamio lkowski state is k-Extendible.
A Few Steps More Towards NPT Bound Entanglement
• Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
• 2010
The particular state, known to be 1-copy nondistillable and supposed to be bound entangled, is considered, and the problem of its two-copy distillability, which boils down to show that maximal overlap of some projector with Schmidt rank two states does not exceed 1/2 is studied.

A Generalization of Quantum Stein’s Lemma
• Computer Science
• 2010
This work presents a generalization of quantum Stein’s Lemma to the situation in which the alternative hypothesis is formed by a family of states, which implies that whenever a multipartite state can be asymptotically converted into another entangled state by local operations and classical communication, the rate of conversion must be non-zero.

The distillability problem revisited
The distillability problem can be reformulated as a special instance of the separability problem, for which a large number of tools and techniques are available, and the results suggest that bound entanglement is primarily a phenomenon found in low dimensional quantum systems.
