• Abstract: Understanding multipartite entanglement is a key goal in quantum information. Entanglement in pure states can be characterised by considering transformations under Local Operations assisted by Classical Communication (LOCC). However, it has been shown that, for $n\ge5$ parties, multipartite pure states are generically isolated, i.e., they can neither be reached nor transformed under LOCC. Nonetheless, in any real lab, one never deterministically transforms a pure initial state exactly to a pure target state. Instead, one transforms a mixed state near the initial state to an ensemble that is on average close to the target state. This motivates studying approximate LOCC transformations. After reviewing in detail the known results in the bipartite case, we present the gaps that remain open in the multipartite case. While the analysis of the multipartite setting is much more technically involved due to the existence of different SLOCC classes, certain features simplify in the approximate setting. In particular, we show that it is sufficient to consider pure initial states, that it is sufficient to consider LOCC protocols with finitely-many rounds of communication and that approximate transformations can be approximated by ensemble transformations within an SLOCC class. Then, we formally define a hierarchy of different forms of approximate transformations that are relevant from a physical point of view. Whereas this hierarchy collapses in the bipartite case, we show that this is not the case for the multipartite setting, which is fundamentally richer. To wit, we show that optimal multipartite approximate transformations are not generally deterministic, that ensemble transformations within an SLOCC class can achieve a higher fidelity than deterministic transformations within an SLOCC class, and that there are approximate transformations with no deterministic transformations nearby.

  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.

Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled 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.

  Reinforcement learning in partially observed Markov decision processes (POMDPs) faces two challenges. It often takes the full history to predict the future, which induces a sample complexity that scales exponentially with the horizon. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm named Embed to Control (ETC), which learns the representation at two levels while optimizing the policy.

• State transformations within entanglement classes containing permutation-symmetric states [0.0]
  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.
