On mixed joint discrete universality for a class of zeta-functions: One more case

We prove a new case of mixed discrete joint universality theorem on approximation of certain target couple of analytic functions by the shifts of a pair consisting of the function belonging to wide class of Matsumoto zeta-functions and the periodic Hurwitz zeta-function. We work under the condition that the common difference of arithmetical progression satisfies a certain rational condition and the parameter is a transcendental number. The essential difference from the result in our previous article is that here we do not study the class of partial zeta-functions, but work with the class of the original functions.

Entanglement distillation by extendible maps

It is known that from entangled states that have positive partial transpose it is not possible to distill maximally entangled states by local operations and classical communication (LOCC). A long-standing open question is whether maximally entangled states can be distilled from every state with a non-positive partial transpose. In this paper we study a possible approach to the question consisting of enlarging the class of operations allowed. Namely, instead of LOCC operations we consider k-extendible operations, defined as maps whose Choi-Jamiolkowski state is k-extendible. We find that this class is unexpectedly powerful - e.g. it is capable of distilling EPR pairs even from product states. We also perform numerical studies of distillation of Werner states by those maps, which show that if we raise the extension index k simultaneously with the number of copies of the state, then the class of k-extendible operations is not that powerful anymore and provide a better approximation to the set of LOCC operations.

On some entropic entanglement parameter

In this paper we present the quantity, which is an entanglement parameter. Its origin is very intriguing, because its construction is motivated by separability criteria based on uncertainty relation. We show that this quantity is asymptotically continuous. We also find the lower and upper bounds for it. Our entanglement parameter has the same feature as the coherent information: both can be negative. There are also some classes of states for which these quantities coincide with each other.

Low dimensional bound entanglement with one-way distillable cryptographic key

We provide a class of bound entangled states that have positive distillable secure key rate. The smallest state of this kind is $4 \otimes 4$, which shows that peculiar security contained in bound entangled states does not need high dimensional systems. We show, that for these states a positive key rate can be obtained by {\it one-way} Devetak-Winter protocol. Subsequently the volume of bound entangled key-distillable states in arbitrary dimension is shown to be nonzero. We provide a scheme of verification of cryptographic quality of experimentally prepared state in terms of local observables. Proposed set of 7 collective settings is proven to be optimal in number of settings.
