• Title: Fundamental limitations on distillation of quantum channel resources
• Authors: Bartosz Regula and Ryuji Takagi
• Abstract summary: We establish universal limitations on the processing of both quantum states and channels. We focus on the class of distillation tasks, either as the purification of noisy channels into unitary ones, or the extraction of state-based resources from channels. We obtain state-of-the-art lower bounds for the overhead cost of magic state distillation, as well as to quantum communication.

• Abstract: Quantum channels underlie the dynamics of quantum systems, but in many practical settings it is the channels themselves that require processing. We establish universal limitations on the processing of both quantum states and channels, expressed in the form of no-go theorems and quantitative bounds for the manipulation of general quantum channel resources under the most general transformation protocols. Focusing on the class of distillation tasks -- which can be understood either as the purification of noisy channels into unitary ones, or the extraction of state-based resources from channels -- we develop fundamental restrictions on the error incurred in such transformations and comprehensive lower bounds for the overhead of any distillation protocol. In the asymptotic setting, our results yield broadly applicable bounds for rates of distillation. We demonstrate our results through applications to fault-tolerant quantum computation, where we obtain state-of-the-art lower bounds for the overhead cost of magic state distillation, as well as to quantum communication, where we recover a number of strong converse bounds for quantum channel capacity.

We show that using an entangled catalyst cannot enhance the singlet distillation rate of a distillable quantum state. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

• Estimate distillable entanglement and quantum capacity by squeezing useless entanglement [5.086696108576776]
  Quantum Internet relies on quantum entanglement as a fundamental resource for secure and efficient quantum communication. It remains challenging to accurately estimate the distillable entanglement and its closely related essential quantity, the quantum capacity. We propose efficiently computable upper bounds for both quantities based on the idea that the useless entanglement within a state or a quantum channel does not contribute to the distillable entanglement or the quantum capacity.
