Are there separable states $\rho$ with separable pure decompositions requiring $\operatorname{rank}(\rho)^2$ components?
In What separable $\rho$ only admit separable pure decompositions with more than $\mathrm{rank}(\rho)$ terms?, examples were given of separable states $\rho$ with separable decompositions requiring ...

Is there a way to compute how many hidden variables are needed to describe a given local state?
Consider a bipartite state $\rho$ that is local. By local I mean here that there is a local hidden variable model explaining the correlations resulting from measuring $\rho$. In other words, $\rho$ ...

How to show that Werner states produce correlations explainable via local hidden variable models?
Werner states can be written as
$$\rho_W=
p\frac{\Pi_+}{\binom{n+1}{2}}
+(1-p)\frac{\Pi_-}{\binom{n}{2}},
$$
with $\Pi_\pm\equiv\frac12(I\pm\mathrm{SWAP})$ projectors onto the $\pm1$ eigenspaces of ...

What is a separable decomposition for the Werner state?
Consider the two-qubit Werner state, defined as
$$\rho_z = z |\Psi_-\rangle\!\langle \Psi_-| + \frac{1-z}{4}I,
\quad |\Psi_-\rangle\equiv\frac{1}{\sqrt2}(|00\rangle-|11\rangle),$$
for $z\ge0$.
Using ...
