Nonadditivity of Bipartite Distillable Entanglement follows from Conjecture on Bound Entangled Werner States
Peter W. Shor, John A. Smolin, Barbara M. Terhal
Assuming the validity of a conjecture in quant-ph/9910026 and quant-ph/9910022 we show that the distillable entanglement for two bipartite states, each of which individually has ze…
On the Number of Elements Needed in a POVM Attaining the Accessible Information
Peter W. Shor
We investigate a symmetric set of three quantum states in three dimensions having interesting properties, which we call the lifted trine states. We show that for the ensemble consi…
Remote State Preparation
Charles H. Bennett, David P. DiVincenzo, Peter W. Shor +3
Quantum teleportation uses prior entanglement and forward classical communication to transmit one instance of an unknown quantum state. Remote state preparation (RSP) has the same…
Superactivation of Bound Entanglement
Peter W. Shor, John A. Smolin, Ashish V. Thapliyal
We show that, in a multi-party setting, two non-distillable (bound-entangled) states tensored together can make a distillable state. This is an example of true superadditivity of d…
Simple Proof of Security of the BB84 Quantum Key Distribution Protocol
Peter W. Shor, John Preskill
We prove the security of the 1984 protocol of Bennett and Brassard (BB84) for quantum key distribution. We first give a key distribution protocol based on entanglement purification…
