• Abstract summary: We show that quantum catalysts can help surpass previously known fundamental limitations on distillation overhead. In particular, in context of magic state distillation, our result indicates that the code-based low-overhead distillation protocols can be promoted to the one-shot setting. We demonstrate that enables a spacetime trade-off between overhead and success probability.

• Abstract: Quantum resource distillation is a fundamental task in quantum information science. Minimizing the distillation overhead, i.e., the amount of noisy source states required to produce some desired output state within some target error, is crucial for the scalability of quantum computation and communication. Here, we show that quantum catalysts -- an additional resource that facilitates the transformation but remains unchanged before and after the process -- can help surpass previously known fundamental limitations on distillation overhead. Specifically, we show that multi-shot distillation protocols can be converted into one-shot catalytic protocols, which hold significant practical benefits, while maintaining the distillation overhead. In particular, in the context of magic state distillation, our result indicates that the code-based low-overhead distillation protocols that rely on divergingly large batches can be promoted to the one-shot setting where the batch volume can be arbitrarily small for any accuracy. Combining with very recent results on asymptotically good quantum codes with transversal non-Clifford gates, we demonstrate that magic state distillation with constant overhead can be achieved with controllable output size using catalytic protocols. Furthermore, we demonstrate that catalysis enables a spacetime trade-off between overhead and success probability. Notably, we show that the optimal constant for constant-overhead catalytic magic state distillation can be reduced to $1$ at the price of compromising the success probability by a constant factor. Finally, we present an illustrative example that extends the catalysis techniques to the study of dynamic quantum resources. This provides the channel mutual information with a one-shot operational interpretation, thereby addressing an open question posed by Wilming.

  We present a threshold quantum distillation task where the same objective is achieved but using fewer parties 'Q' Specifically, an arbitrary GHZ state can be distilled using just one party in the network, as both the success probability of the distillation protocol and the fidelity after the distillation are independent of the number of parties. For a general W-state, at least 'P-1' parties are required for the distillation, indicating a strong relationship between the distillation and the separability of such states.

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

  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.

  We introduce a variant of randomness extraction framework where free incoherent operations are allowed before the incoherent measurement. We show that the maximum number of random bits extractable from a given quantum state is precisely equal to the maximum number of coherent bits that can be distilled from the same state. Remarkably, the incoherent operation classes all admit the same second order expansions.
