• Abstract: In this work, we construct small sets of bipartite orthogonal pure states that cannot be perfectly distinguished by local operations and classical communication (LOCC). We mention that not all the states within the constructed sets are necessarily entangled. However, such a set contains at least one entangled state which cannot be conclusively identified by LOCC (with nonzero probability). Then, we show that the states of any such set can be perfectly distinguished by LOCC using a minimal-dimensional entangled resource state. Clearly, here the entangled resource state provides an advantage irrespective of the dimension of the given set. Using this result, we also prove that any pure entangled state is useful as a resource to distinguish the states of any present set unambiguously with nonzero probability under LOCC. These sets exist in all two-qudit Hilbert spaces. Furthermore, it is possible to decrease the average entanglement content of such a set or to increase the cardinality of the set without changing certain properties of the same.

  We consider the infinite-horizon reach-avoid zero-sum game problem, where the goal is to find a set in the state space, referred to as the reach-avoid set. We address this problem by designing a new value function with a contracting Bellman backup, where the super-zero level set, i.e., the set of states where the value function is evaluated to be non-negative, recovers the reach-avoid set. We show that the proposed method could learn reliably the reach-avoid set and the optimal control policy even with neural network approximation.

• Genuine activation of nonlocality: From locally available to locally hidden information [13.939388417767136]
  Quantum nonlocality has different manifestations that, in general, are revealed by local measurements of parts of a composite system. We show that there exist sets that are locally distinguishable but without local redundancy. We suggest an application, namely, local hiding of information, that allows us to locally hide locally available information without losing any part.

• Unifying Two Notions of Nonlocality in Quantum Theory [0.0]
  We prove that a full product basis can create entangled states if and only if the full bases or any subspace of it become irreducible in the process of LOCC discrimination. For a set having entangled states, we modify the quantity accordingly and show that it can provide an explanation for the phenomena of more nonlocality with less entanglement.
