• Abstract summary: The study of state transformations under local operations and classical communication plays a crucial role in entanglement theory. We consider the question of LOCC convertibility for permutation-symmetric pure states of an arbitrary number of parties and local dimension. While it turns out that generic $n$-qubit symmetric states are also isolated, we consider particular families for which we can determine to be, on the contrary, endowed with a rich local stabilizer.

• Abstract: The study of state transformations under local operations and classical communication (LOCC) plays a crucial role in entanglement theory. While this has been long ago characterized for pure bipartite states, the situation is drastically different for systems of more parties: generic pure qudit states cannot be obtained from nor transformed to any state (i.e., they are isolated), which contains a different amount of entanglement. We consider here the question of LOCC convertibility for permutation-symmetric pure states of an arbitrary number of parties and local dimension, a class of clear interest both for physical and mathematical reasons and for which the aforementioned result does not apply given that it is a zero-measure subset in the state space. While it turns out that generic $n$-qubit symmetric states are also isolated, we consider particular families for which we can determine to be, on the contrary, endowed with a rich local stabilizer, a necessary requirement for LOCC convertibility to be possible. This allows us to identify classes in which LOCC transformations among permutation-symmetric states are possible. Notwithstanding, we provide several results that indicate severe obstructions to LOCC convertibility in general even within these highly symmetrical classes. In the course of the study of LOCC transformations, we also characterize the local symmetries of symmetric states.

  We extend the resource theory of entanglement for multipartite systems beyond the standard framework of local operations and classical communication. We demonstrate that in this adjusted framework, the transformation rates between multipartite states are fundamentally dictated by the bipartite entanglement entropies of the respective quantum states.

  We study state transformations by spatially separated parties with local operations assisted by classical communication (LOCC) One of our main results is to show that the SLOCC class of the 3-qutrit totally antisymmetric state is isolation-free as well. Indeed, we prove weak isolation (i.e., states that cannot be obtained with finite-round LOCC nor transformed by one-round LOCC) for very general classes.

  We introduce a family of highly symmetric bipartite quantum states in arbitrary dimensions. We solve the separability problem for a subspace of these states and show that a sizable part of the family is bound entangled. Our results allow us to estimate entanglement properties of arbitrary states, as general states can be symmetrized to the considered family by local operations.

Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
