Recent advances have lead towards first prototypes of a quantum internet in which entanglement is distributed by sources producing bipartite entangled states with high fidelities. This raises the question which states can be generated in quantum networks based on bipartite sources using local operations and classical communication. In this work we study state transformations under finite rounds of local operations and classical communication in networks based on maximally entangled two-qubit states. We first derive the symmetries for arbitrary network structures as these determine which transformations are possible. Then we show that contrary to tree graphs for which it has already been shown that any state within the same entanglement class can be reached there exist states which can be reached probabilistically but not deterministically if the network contains a cycle. Furthermore, we provide a systematic way to determine states which are not reachable in networks consisting of a cycle. Moreover, we provide a complete characterization of the states which can be reached in a cycle network with a protocol where each party measures only once and each step of the protocol results in a deterministic transformation. Finally, we present an example which cannot be reached with such a simple protocol.
We describe a general approach to proving the impossibility of implementing a quantum channel by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), even with an infinite number of rounds, and find that this can often be demonstrated by solving a se
We give a conceptually simple necessary condition such that a separable quantum operation can be implemented by local operations on subsystems and classical communication between parties (LOCC), a condition which follows from a novel approach to unde
Given a protocol ${cal P}$ that implements multipartite quantum channel ${cal E}$ by repeated rounds of local operations and classical communication (LOCC), we construct an alternate LOCC protocol for ${cal E}$ in no more rounds than ${cal P}$ and no
We study the task of entanglement distillation in the one-shot setting under different classes of quantum operations which extend the set of local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Establishing a general formalism which allows for a stra
We consider the problem of transmitting classical and quantum information reliably over an entanglement-assisted quantum channel. Our main result is a capacity theorem that gives a three-dimensional achievable rate region. Points in the region are ra
