Entanglement battery and entanglement catalyst in local state discrimination problems

Abstract:In this work, we study the limitations and advantages of using entanglement battery and entanglement catalyst in local state discrimination problems. We consider both cases of such tools, i.e., exact and approximate cases. We show that to distinguish any set of orthogonal pure bipartite entangled states perfectly under local operations and classical communication using an (exact) entanglement battery or an (exact) entanglement catalyst, it is necessary to consider that the cardinality of the set must be smaller than the total dimension of the given Hilbert space. Then, we construct a nontrivial case where an exact entanglement battery can provide huge advantage. We also construct other nontrivial cases where exact or approximate entanglement battery or entanglement catalyst can be useful. In fact, we find that the approximate tools are particularly useful in the local discrimination of certain sets which can be derived from many-copy indistinguishable ensembles.
