Entanglement Cost under Positive-Partial-Transpose-Preserving Operations

K. Audenaert, Martin Bodo Plenio, Jens Eisert

We study the entanglement cost under quantum operations preserving the positivity of the partial transpose (PPT operations). We demonstrate that this cost is directly related to the logarithmic negativity, thereby providing the operational interpretation for this entanglement measure. As examples we discuss general Werner states and arbitrary bipartite Gaussian states. Then we prove that for the antisymmetric Werner state PPT cost and PPT entanglement of distillation coincide. This is the first example of a truly mixed state for which entanglement manipulation is asymptotically reversible, which points towards a unique entanglement measure under PPT operations.

Entangling capacities and the geometry of quantum operations

Jhih-Yuan Kao, Chung-Hsien Chou

Quantum operations are the fundamental transformations on quantum states. In this work, we study the relation between entangling capacities of operations, geometry of operations, and positive partial transpose (PPT) states, which are an important class of states in quantum information. We show a method to calculate bounds for entangling capacity, the amount of entanglement that can be produced by a quantum operation, in terms of negativity, a measure of entanglement. The bounds of entangling capacity are found to be associated with how non-PPT (PPT preserving) an operation is. A length that quantifies both entangling capacity/entanglement and PPT-ness of an operation or state can be defined, establishing a geometry characterized by PPT-ness. The distance derived from the length bounds the relative entangling capability, endowing the geometry with more physical significance. We also demonstrate the equivalence of PPT-ness and separability for unitary operations.
