Proof that Bell state can be transformed into any 2-qubit state $\vert\psi\rangle$ under LU

In the Dür, 2000 paper, he gave a statement that (...) Any state $\vert\psi\rangle$ can be obtained from Bell State with certainty From his paper too, it's known that we can transform $\vert\psi\...

Prove that there are infinitely many entanglement classes under LU

Dur, 2000 states that (...)But even in the simplest systems, $|\psi\rangle$ and $|\phi\rangle$ are typically not related by LU, and continuous parameters are needed to label all equivalence classes. ...

Is LOCC equivalence the same as LU equivalence?

I'm currently learning on LOCC transformations. In the Dur, 2000 paper, there is a statement that (...) two pure states $|\psi\rangle$ and $|\phi\rangle$ can be obtained with certainty from each ...

How Quickly Can We Entangle a Pair of Unentangled Qubits Without Using Pre-existing Entanglement?

The Set-Up Let's say we want to entangle two qubits $\phi_a,\phi_b$ (at locations $a$ and $b$ respectively) that are spatially separated by distance $d$ (in natural units) at a given instance of time. ...

Can EPR pairs be established with only classical communication?

EPR pairs are used in superdense coding and quantum teleportation, but these protocols assume that Alice & Bob "share" half of an entangled quantum state. How does this "sharing&...

Show that any two product states of the same dimension are LU-equivalent

States $|Ψ \rangle$, $|Φ\rangle$ on $C_d⊗C_{d′}$ are said to be equivalent up to Local Unitarities (LU-equivalent) if there exist unitaries $U : C_d → C_d$ and $V : C_{d′} → C_{d′}$ such that: $|Ψ \...

Filtering operation is trace decreasing?

Let $\rho$ is a bipartite state. W is a local filtering operation that acts on a subsystem of the state $\rho$. After the local filtering operation $\rho$ emerges into a $\tilde{\rho}$ i.e $\tilde{\...

Is there a non-deterministic protocol for entanglement generation between distant parties?

I'm aware that one can imperfectly clone entanglement that's shared between two parties (i.e. Bell pairs) using deterministic quantum cloning machines to produce two, lower fidelity entangled states. ...

Why can any LOCC operation be written as $\sum_k (A_k\otimes B_k)\rho(A_k^\dagger\otimes B_k^\dagger)$?

This statement can be found in Vedral et al. 1997, eq. (1). More precisely, given a bipartite state $\rho_{AB}$, they claim that any operation on $\rho_{AB}$ involving local operations plus classical ...
