How to convert a partially entangled state into maximally entangled using SLOCC

Let's say I have a generic partially entangled two-qubit state with Schmidt decomposition $$|\psi\rangle_{AB} = \sqrt{\alpha} |00\rangle_{AB} + \sqrt{\beta}|11\rangle_{AB}.$$ I know from Lo and ...

Can you project on an orthogonal basis for a multipartite system using only local measurements and classical communication?

Say Alice possesses one qubit, and Bob two, and that the joint state is $|\psi_{A, B_1, B_2}\rangle = \alpha|n_1\rangle + \beta |n_2\rangle$, where $|n_1\rangle$ and $|n_2\rangle$ are orthonormal ...

Performing Binary Operations on Classical Bits

I am trying to prepare the n-qubits GHZ state using LOCC on Qiskit. The implementation uses the result of some mid-circuit measurements for later operations. I am now using something like ...

What's the best entangling circuit to measure the Peres-Wootters double-trine state?

The early-90's, pre-teleportation work of Peres and Wootters studied the now-called "double-trine" or Mercedes-Benz states of two qubits in one of three product states: $$|A\rangle\otimes|B\...

perform a SWAP measurement using local operations and classical feedback

I am interested in performing a SWAP measurement, namely, measure 2 qubits and project their state onto either the triplet state manifold $\{|00\rangle, |11\rangle, |01\rangle + |10\rangle\}$ or the ...

How does trace norm of a state change after measurement? Why is the 1-LOCC norm less?

I recently asked this question about the meaning of a quantum classical channel in a paper I read. The answer I accepted provided an explanation for the 1-LOCC norm (which I asked about) which is ...

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\...
