• Abstract: A fundamental problem in quantum physics is to establish whether a multiparticle quantum state can be uniquely determined from its local marginals. In theory, this problem has been addressed in the exact case where the marginals are perfectly known. In practice, however, experiments only have access to finite statistics and therefore can only determine the marginals of a quantum state up to an error. In this Letter, we prove that unique determinability universally survives such local imperfections: specifically, for every uniquely determined state, we show that deviations of local marginals propagate to global states strictly bounded by a power law with exponent $α\in(0,1]$. This result induces a classification of multipartite quantum states by their power-law exponents, with linear scaling $α=1$ as the most favorable regime. We derive a necessary and sufficient criterion for linear robustness and translate it into an executable semidefinite-programming certification. Applying our theory, we prove that stabilizer states are inherently square-root robust and provide a complete robustness classification for the Dicke family. Finally, we exploit these results to construct a scalable two-local genuine multipartite entanglement witness, demonstrating the viability of this framework for broad practical applications.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  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.

• Separability and entanglement in superpositions of quantum states [0.0]
  We study the superpositions of a pure entangled state and a pure product state, when the amplitudes corresponding to the states appearing in any superposition are nonzero. All such superpositions produce only entangled states if the initial entangled state has Schmidt rank three or higher. We find that conditional inseparability of superpositions help in identifying strategies for conclusive local discrimination of shared quantum ensembles.
