We exhibit an orthogonal set of product states of two three-state particles that nevertheless cannot be reliably distinguished by a pair of separated observers ignorant of which of the states has been presented to them, even if the observers are allowed any sequence of local operations and classical communication between the separate observers. It is proved that there is a finite gap between the mutual information obtainable by a joint measurement on these states and a measurement in which only…

Difficulty of distinguishing product states locally
• Physics
• 2017
Nonlocality without entanglement is a rather counterintuitive phenomenon in which information may be encoded entirely in product (unentangled) states of composite quantum systems in such a way that
Measure-independent anomaly of nonlocality
We show that any Bell local state, with a hidden nonlocality that can be revealed by local filtering, is more, or equally, entangled than nonlocal states. More precisely, it can be deterministically

Entanglement is a defining feature of quantum mechanics, producing correlations between the results of spacelike-separated measurements which cannot be explained by any local, single-world theory of
Strong Quantum Nonlocality without Entanglement.

The first examples of orthogonal product bases on C=3, 4 that are locally irreducible in all bipartitions are provided, where the construction for d=3 achieves the minimum dimension necessary for such product states to exist.

We consider the question of perfect local distinguishability of mutually orthogonal bipartite quantum states, with the property that every state can be specified by a unitary operator acting on the

It is given, for the first time, a proof that such sets of states indeed exist even in the case k < d, and holds for an even wider class of operations known as positive-partial-transpose measurements (PPT).
Entanglement as a resource to distinguish orthogonal product states

This paper presents protocols which use entanglement more efficiently than teleportation to distinguish some classes of orthogonal product states in m ⊗ n, which are not UPB.
Local distinguishability of quantum states may be determined by entanglement alone
It is shown that the number of orthogonal density matrices that can be perfectly distinguished locally is bounded above by the total dimension over the average of maximal pure state entanglement in
General classes of impossible operations through the existence of incomparable states

This work shows how an impossible local operation evolve with the joint system in a nonphysical way through the existence of incomparable pure bipartite entangled states.
General existence of locally distinguishable maximally entangled states only with two-way classical communication
• Mathematics

• 2016
This paper shows the existence of sets of maximally entangled states is general, through constructing such sets in all the remaining quantum systems, and completes the picture that such sets do exist in every possible dimensional quantum system.

Entanglement purification via separable superoperators
This work uses the fact that every EPP is a separable superoperator to give a new upper bound on the rate of EPPs on Bell- diagonal states, and thus on the capacity of Bell-diagonal channels.
Optimal Quantum Measurements for Two Pure and Mixed States
An explicit formula is obtained for the entropy defect and the (maximum) information for an ensemble of two pure quantum states; an optimal basis is found, that is, an optimal measurement procedure

It is proved that an EPP involving one-way classical communication and acting on mixed state M (obtained by sharing halves of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs through a channel) yields a QECC on \ensuremath{\chi} with rate Q=D, and vice versa, and it is proved Q is not increased by adding one- way classical communication.
No Cloning of Orthogonal States in Composite Systems
The no-cloning principle tells us that nonorthogonal quantum states cannot be cloned, but it d not tell us that orthogonal states can always be cloned. We suggest a situation where the clo
