The Existence of Quantum Entanglement Catalysts
Xiaoming Sun, Runyao Duan, Mingsheng Ying
abstract: Without additional resources, it is often impossible to transform one
entangled quantum state into another with local quantum operations and
classical communication. Jonathan and Plenio [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3566(1999)]
presented an interesting example showing that the presence of another state,
called a catalyst, enables such a transformation without changing the catalyst.
They also pointed out that in general it is very hard to find an analytical
condition under which a catalyst exists. In this paper we study the existence
of catalysts for two incomparable quantum states. For the simplest case of
$2\times 2$ catalysts for transformations from one $4\times 4$ state to
another, a necessary and sufficient condition for existence is found. For the
general case, we give an efficient polynomial time algorithm to decide whether
a $k\times k$ catalyst exists for two $n\times n$ incomparable states, where
$k$ is treated as a constant.
