This paper gives an exact closed-form value for the Rényi-2 entanglement of purification of symmetric Werner states in every local dimension, and shows the value is additive across tensor products and holds even against arbitrary joint purifications. For quantum readers, it is a rigorous result on how much entanglement a mixed state's correlations cost to create, a benchmark for entanglement-resource accounting in quantum networks. It is theoretical work with no near-term hardware claims.
R\'enyi-2 entanglement of purification of the symmetric Werner state
arXiv:2611.00144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper determines exactly the R\'enyi-2 entanglement of purification of the normalized symmetric Werner state in every local dimension $d\ge2$ \begin{equation*} \mathrm{EoP}_2(W_{+,d})=\log_2\frac{4d(d+1)}{d^2+3d+4}. \end{equation*} We establish additivity for tensor power and, more generally, additivity for finite products of symmetric Werner states with different local dimensions. A canonical purification and its products achieve these values globally, even when arbitrary joint purifications with unrestricted finite dimensional auxiliary systems are allowed. We further examine perturbations away from the symmetric endpoint, and prove the continuity of the optimal value at this endpoint; moreover, we show a sharp square root order of variation in the optimal purity, while the canonical purification remains asymptotically optimal in the achieved entropy as this weight goes to zero.
