- Abstract: We propose an approach to the study of quantum resource manipulation based on
the basic observation that quantum channels which preserve certain sets of
states are contractive with respect to the base norms induced by those sets. We
forgo the usual physical assumptions on quantum dynamics: instead of enforcing
complete positivity, trace preservation, or resource-theoretic considerations,
we study transformation protocols as norm-contractive maps. This allows us to
apply to this problem a technical toolset from functional analysis, unifying
previous approaches and introducing new families of bounds for the distillable
resources and the resource cost, both one-shot and asymptotic. Since our
expressions lend themselves naturally to single-letter forms, they can often be
calculated in practice; by doing so, we demonstrate with examples that they can
yield the best known bounds on quantities such as the entanglement cost. As
applications, we not only give an alternative derivation of the recent result
of [arXiv:2111.02438] which showed that entanglement theory is asymptotically
irreversible, but also provide the quantities introduced in that work with
explicit operational meaning in the context of entanglement distillation
through a novel generalised form of hypothesis testing relative entropy.
Besides entanglement, we reveal a new irreversible quantum resource: through
improved bounds for state transformations in the resource theory of magic-state
quantum computation, we show that there exist qutrit magic states that cannot
be reversibly interconverted under stabiliser protocols.

- Generalized Quantum Stein's Lemma and Second Law of Quantum Resource Theories [47.02222405817297]
A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function.
In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing.
In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

This puts into question a number of established results in the literature, in particular the reversibility of quantum entanglement.

Two general approaches to characterising the manipulation of quantum states by means of probabilistic protocols constrained by the limitations of some quantum resource theory.
First, we give a general necessary condition for the existence of a physical transformation between quantum states, obtained using a recently introduced resource monotone based on the Hilbert projective metric.
We show it to tightly characterise single-shot probabilistic distillation in broad types of resource theories, allowing an exact analysis of the trade-offs between the probabilities and errors in distilling maximally resourceful states.

An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other.
Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations.
We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations.
We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states.
The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open.
Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

Consistent Resource Measures [3.8073142980733]
Quantum resource theories (QRTs) provide a unified theoretical framework for understanding inherent quantum-mechanical properties that serve as resources in quantum information processing.
But resources motivated by physics may possess intractable mathematical structure to analyze, such as non-uniqueness of maximally resourceful states, lack of convexity, and infinite dimension.
We investigate state conversion and resource measures in general QRTs under minimal assumptions to figure out universal properties of physically motivated quantum resources.
