abstract

We demonstrate the convexity of the difference between the regularized entanglement of purification and the entropy, as a function of the state. This is proved by means of a new asymptotic protocol to prepare a state from pre-shared entanglement and by local operations only. We go on to employ this convexity property in an investigation of the additivity of the (single-copy) entanglement of purification: using numerical results for two-qubit Werner states we find strong evidence that the entanglement of purification is different from its regularization, hence that entanglement of purification is not additive.

Additivity Results for the R\'enyi-2 Entanglement of Purification

quant-ph · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proves that υ₂(Ω) is multiplicative for CP maps satisfying N† ∘ N = a id + b Tr[·]I, including depolarizing and transpose-depolarizing channels, implying additivity of Rényi-2 entanglement of purification.
