Entanglement-saving channels

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The set of Entanglement Saving (ES) quantum channels is introduced and characterized. These are completely positive, trace preserving transformations which when acting locally on a bipartite quantum system initially prepared into a maximally entangled configuration, preserve its entanglement even when applied an arbitrary number of times. In other words, a quantum channel psi is said to be ES if its powers psin are not entanglement-breaking for all integers n. We also characterize the properties of the Asymptotic Entanglement Saving (AES) maps. These form a proper subset of the ES channels that is constituted by those maps which, not only preserve entanglement for all finite n, but which also sustain an explicitly not null level of entanglement in the asymptotic limit~nightarrowinfty. Structure theorems are provided for ES and for AES maps which yield an almost complete characterization of the former and a full characterization of the latter.
