• Abstract: Entanglement is a striking feature of quantum mechanics, and it has a key property called unextendibility. In this paper, we present a framework for quantifying and investigating the unextendibility of general bipartite quantum states. First, we define the unextendible entanglement, a family of entanglement measures based on the concept of a state-dependent set of free states. The intuition behind these measures is that the more entangled a bipartite state is, the less entangled each of its individual systems is with a third party. Second, we demonstrate that the unextendible entanglement is an entanglement monotone under two-extendible quantum operations, including local operations and one-way classical communication as a special case. Normalization and faithfulness are two other desirable properties of unextendible entanglement, which we establish here. We further show that the unextendible entanglement provides efficiently computable benchmarks for the rate of exact entanglement or secret key distillation, as well as the overhead of probabilistic entanglement or secret key distillation.

  Entanglement is at the heart of quantum theory and is responsible for various quantum-enabling technologies. We experimentally demonstrate how one may use single-copy local filtering operations to meet this requirement. Results provide the first proof-of-principle experimental certification of the Bell-nonlocal properties of entangled states.

  Bound entanglement is a special form of quantum entanglement that cannot be used for distillation. We focus on systems of finite dimensions, an area of high relevance for many quantum information processing tasks. The article illuminates areas where our understanding of bound entangled states, particularly their detection and characterization, is yet to be fully developed.

  A central question since the beginning of quantum information science is how two distant parties can convert one entangled state into another. It has been conjectured that entangled state transformations could be executed reversibly in an regime, mirroring the nature of Carnot cycles in classical thermodynamics. We investigate the concept of an entanglement battery, an auxiliary quantum system that facilitates quantum state transformations without a net loss of entanglement.
