- Abstract: We study the quantum information theoretic task of embezzlement of entanglement in the setting of von Neumann algebras. Given a shared entangled resource state, this task asks to produce arbitrary entangled states using local operations without communication while perturbing the resource arbitrarily little. We quantify the performance of a given resource state by the worst-case error. States for which the latter vanishes are 'embezzling states' as they allow to embezzle arbitrary entangled states with arbitrarily small error. The best and worst performance among all states defines two algebraic invariants for von Neumann algebras. The first invariant takes only two values. Either it vanishes and embezzling states exist, which can only happen in type III, or no state allows for nontrivial embezzlement. In the case of factors not of finite type I, the second invariant equals the diameter of the state space. This provides a quantitative operational interpretation of Connes' classification of type III factors within quantum information theory. Type III$_1$ factors are 'universal embezzlers' where every state is embezzling. Our findings have implications for relativistic quantum field theory, where type III algebras naturally appear. For instance, they explain the maximal violation of Bell inequalities in the vacuum. Our results follow from a one-to-one correspondence between embezzling states and invariant probability measures on the flow of weights. We also establish that universally embezzling ITPFI factors are of type III$_1$ by elementary arguments.

two-mode Gaussian states [6.152099987181264]
The maximum amount of entanglement achievable under passive transformations by continuous-variable states is called the entanglement potential.
Recent work has demonstrated that the entanglement potential is upper-bounded by a simple function of the squeezing of formation.
We introduce a larger class of states that we prove saturates the bound, and we conjecture that all two-mode Gaussian states can be passively transformed into this class.

A set of correlations is said to be nonlocal if it cannot be reproduced by spacelike-separated parties sharing randomness and performing local operations.
We show that there exist (efficient) local producing measurements that cannot be reproduced through randomness and quantum-time computation.

Here we implement a quantum state elimination measurement which unambiguously rules out two of four pure, non-orthogonal quantum states.

We define an alternative way of quantifying nonlocality of states based on Bell nonlocality of behaviors, called the trace-weighted nonlocal volume.
The construction is based on the nonlocal volume, a quantifier of nonlocality for states that counts the volume of the set of measurements that give rise to nonlocal behaviors when applied to this state, plus the trace distance.
We show that the weak anomaly of nonlocality for the (2, 2, 3) scenario persists, but the local minimum for nonlocality with the trace-weighted nonlocal volume occurs in a different state as compared to the minimum for the

We also consider the generation of cat states from photon-added and photon-subtracted squeezed states, improving over known schemes by introducing additional squeezing operations.

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.
