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 ...

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\...

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

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 $V : C_{d′} → C_{d′}$
