TLDR
Upper and lower bounds on the yield of pure singlets ($\ket{\Psi^-}$) distillable from mixed states $M$ are given, showing $D(M)>0$ if $\bra{Psi-}M\ket-}>\half$.Abstract:
Two separated observers, by applying local operations to a supply of not-too-impure entangled states (e.g., singlets shared through a noisy channel), can prepare a smaller number of entangled pairs of arbitrarily high purity (e.g., near-perfect singlets). These can then be used to faithfully teleport unknown quantum states from one observer to the other, thereby achieving faithful transmission of quantum information through a noisy channel. We give upper and lower bounds on the yield $D\left(M\right)$ of pure singlets $(|{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}〉)$ distillable from mixed states $M$, showing $D\left(M\right)g0$ if $〈{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}|M|{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}〉g\frac{1}{2}$.read more

Key distillation from quantum channels using two-way communication protocols
Joonwoo Bae,Antonio Acín +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that there may exist weakly entangling channels useless for key distribution using prepare and measure schemes, and several possibilities to enlarge these bounds are explored.

Fidelity of mixed states of two qubits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a single copy of a mixed state of two qubits and show how its fidelity or maximal singlet fraction is related to the entanglement measures concurrence and negativity.

Minimally complex ion traps as modules for quantum communication and computing
TL;DR: This work performs the most detailed analysis to date on this purification task, using a protocol which is balanced to maximise fidelity while minimising the device complexity and the time cost of the process.

Measurement-based entanglement under conditions of extreme photon loss.
TL;DR: A means to exploit the low grade entanglement heralded by the detection of a lone photon is described, which requires only two qubits per node, and can tolerate both path length variation and loss asymmetry.

Entanglement of multiparty stabilizer, symmetric, and antisymmetric states
TL;DR: The storage and entanglement assisted teleportation of quantum states are two of the central primitives of Quantum Information Science as mentioned in this paper, and the need to certify success in their experiments, and to justity the use of the term quantum in setups such as quantum memories and quantum teleportations, requires theoretical benchmarks which bound the performance of purely classical schemes.

Concentrating partial entanglement by local operations
TL;DR: Any pure or mixed entangled state of two systems can be produced by two classically communicating separated observers, drawing on a supply of singlets as their sole source of entanglement.

Generalized privacy amplification
TL;DR: This paper provides a general treatment of privacy amplification by public discussion, a concept introduced by Bennett, Brassard, and Robert for a special scenario, and yields results on wiretap and broadcast channels for a considerably strengthened definition of secrecy capacity.
