Quantum entanglement of pure states is usually quantified via the entanglement entropy, the von Neumann entropy of the reduced state. Entanglement entropy is closely related to entanglement distillation, a process for converting quantum states into singlets, which can then be used for various quantum technological tasks. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the asymptotic setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Here we close this gap by considering entanglement catalysis. We prove that entanglement entropy completely characterizes state transformations in the presence of entangled catalysts. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving asymptotic results an operational meaning also in the single-copy setup.
The states of three-qubit systems split into two inequivalent types of genuine tripartite entanglement, namely the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type and the $W$ type. A state belonging to one of these classes can be stochastically transformed on
We propose an explicit protocol for the deterministic transformations of bipartite pure states in any dimension using deterministic transformations in lower dimensions. As an example, explicit solutions for the deterministic transformations of $3otim
Suppose two distant observers Alice and Bob share a pure biparticle entangled state secretly chosen from a set, it is shown that Alice (Bob) can probabilistic concentrate the state to a maximally entangled state by applying local operations and class
Entanglement swapping has played an important role in quantum information processing, and become one of the necessary core technologies in the future quantum network. In this paper, we study entanglement swapping for multi-particle pure states and ma
A set of quantum states is said to be absolutely entangled, when at least one state in the set remains entangled for any definition of subsystems, i.e. for any choice of the global reference frame. In this work we investigate the properties of absolu
