Classical information and distillable entanglement

arXiv:quant-ph/9907021 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.1611

Abstract

We establish a quantitative connection between the amount of lost classical information about a quantum state and the concomitant loss of entanglement. Using methods that have been developed for the optimal purification of mixed states we find a class of mixed states with known distillable entanglement. These results can be used to determine the quantum capacity of a quantum channel which randomizes the order of transmitted signals.
