This research establishes fundamental, irreversible limits on manipulating mixed-state entanglement, proving that even correlated quantum catalysts cannot fully restore information loss in complex systems. By resolving long-standing questions about the additivity of PPT relative entropy, the study defines a systematic family of monotones that quantify these resource constraints without requiring detailed knowledge of the catalyst. These findings clarify the theoretical boundaries of quantum state transformation and highlight inherent inefficiencies in entanglement distillation processes.

Catalysts Fail to Overcome Core Limits on Quantum State Transformation

PPT entanglement with correlated catalysis: Monotones and Irreversibility Despite powerful quantum tools allowing seemingly impossible state changes, inherent limits to manipulating entangled systems persist. This work resolves a long-standing challenge by proving additivity and strong superadditivity of regularized PPT relative entropy, surpassing previous methods lacking systematic monotones valid under correlated catalysis. Consequently, even extensive catalytic assistance cannot fully reverse information loss in complex entangled states.

Investigations into limits on state manipulation using readily accessible correlated catalysts within the positive-partially transposed (PPT) resource theory extended beyond local operations and classical communication (LOCC). General conditions for key superadditivity in regularised relative-entropy measures were identified. These conditions enable construction of monotones restricting correlated catalytic PPT transformations irrespective of catalyst knowledge. Full additivity and key superadditivity of the regularized PPT relative entropy have been established, resolving a longstanding issue in entanglement theory. Scientists at the Academy of Sciences has proven that substantial assistance from correlated quantum catalysts, auxiliary states linked to transformed outputs, does not overcome fundamental restrictions on…
