• Abstract: Entanglement distillation is the process of converting noisy entangled states into maximally entangled pure states via local operations and classical communication. A long-standing, unresolved question is which entangled states are amenable to distillation, known as the distillability problem. We solve this for Bell-diagonal qutrits with Weyl structure, and present a noise-robust scheme for entanglement distillation. In particular, we find that violating the positive partial transposition (PPT) criterion is necessary and sufficient for the 1-distillability of these states. For this, we construct a Schmidt rank 2 eigenvector of the partially transposed density matrix associated with its unique, three-fold degenerate negative eigenvalue. This feature makes the derived entanglement distillation protocol resilient to white-noise effects on the quantum states. Our results thus make noisy entangled qutrit pairs more accessible for future quantum technologies.

  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.

  Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states. The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open. Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

  We introduce a variant of randomness extraction framework where free incoherent operations are allowed before the incoherent measurement.
