Universal quantum resource distillation via composite generalised quantum Stein's lemma (opens in new tab)

The performance of quantum resource manipulation protocols, including key examples such as distillation of quantum entanglement, is measured in terms of the rate at which desired target states can be produced from a given noisy state. However, to achieve optimal rates, known protocols require precise tailoring to the quantum state in question, demanding a perfect knowledge of the input and allowing no errors in its preparation. Here we show th...
