• Abstract: A quantum state is called absolutely separable (resp. absolutely positive partial transpose (APPT)) if it remains separable (resp. positive partial transpose (PPT)) under any global unitary transformation. It is known that the set of all absolutely separable states is a subset of the set of all APPT states. Moreover, these two sets are identical for qubit-qudit systems. In this note, we give an upper bound for the purity of APPT bipartite states (and therefore for the purity of absolutely separable bipartite states). For qubit-qudit systems, this upper bound becomes the maximum purity of APPT (and absolutely separable) states.

• 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.
