• Abstract: Multipartite entanglement admits phenomena such as the activation of genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) and the existence of inequivalent classes of entanglement, and existing bipartite entanglement measures have no unique generalization to this regime. In this work, we define the Rains, monsoon, hurricane, and squall entanglement as generalizations of the bipartite Rains relative entropy, and we establish various properties of these entanglement measures. We also prove that the Rains entanglement is monotone under selective quantum operations that completely preserve the positivity of the partial transpose. We establish single-letter upper bounds on the one-shot and asymptotic rates at which a fixed pure state can be distilled from an arbitrary state in both the standard and probabilistic approximate distillation scenarios. Among the entanglement measures we define, the tightest upper bound on the one-shot pure-state distillation rate is in terms of the Rains entanglement. However, the activation of GME (or, equivalently, the tensor instability of biseparability) makes it unclear if the one-shot bound in terms of the Rains entanglement can be extended to a single-letter asymptotic bound. Instead, we establish upper bounds on the asymptotic pure-state distillation rate in terms of the hurricane and squall entanglement. Upper bounds on the GHZ- and W-distillable entanglement follow as a consequence. Additionally, we define the multipartite max-Rains entanglement, write it as a semidefinite program, and derive a dual program for it. Finally, we analyze these measures for quantum pairwise independent networks, and we establish a conditional gradient (Frank-Wolfe) algorithm for computing the Rains entanglement.

  Fragmented Bose-Einstein condensates are large systems of identical bosons displaying macroscopic occupations of one-body states.

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

Remarkably, the incoherent operation classes all admit the same second order expansions.
