• Abstract: Motivated to understand how entanglement resources can be distributed in quantum networks, we introduce threshold entanglement (TE) states. These are multipartite quantum states whose entanglement across bipartitions forces all marginals of half or less local systems to be (absolutely) separable. First, in contrast to states used for quantum secret sharing, we demonstrate that TE states exist for four and seven qubits. Second, between four and nine qubits, we delimit the average entanglement that TE states must have by combining two semidefinite programming relaxations: (i) lower bounds on the minimal purity of pure state marginals, and (ii) upper bounds on the maximal purity of mixed absolutely separable states. Besides delimiting the existence regions of TE states, our approach independently improves the best known bounds on both of the above problems. Moreover, these improved bounds show that TE states of eight qubits cannot exist. Numerical evidence suggests that TE states accommodate significant amounts of entanglement and magic, which are resources needed for quantum advantage in quantum computing.

  We extend the notion of quantum speed limits to collections of quantum states. For two-qubit systems, we show that the fastest transformation implements two Hadamards and a swap of the qubits simultaneously. For qutrit systems the evolution time depends on the particular type of the unbiased basis.

• 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.

  Entanglement of high-dimensional and multipartite quantum systems offer promising perspectives in quantum information processing. We consider the overlaps between the maximal quantum mean values and the classical bound of the CHSH inequalities for pairwise-qubit states in two-dimensional subspaces. We show that the concurrence of a pure state in any high-dimensional multipartite system can be equivalently represented by these overlaps.

  We show that the recently established lower semicontinuity of the quantum conditional mutual information implies (in fact) the lower semicontinuity of the loss of the quantum (conditional) mutual information under local channels. New continuity conditions for the quantum mutual information and for the squashed entanglement in both bipartite and multipartite infinite-dimensional systems are obtained.
