Exact dilution obstruction from Schmidt rank

ID: exact-dilution-obstruction-from-schmidt-rank

For , every bipartition of has Schmidt rank , while copies of a GHZ state have Schmidt rank . Schmidt-rank contraction under product operators therefore forbids any exact successful LOCC branch when . Approximate entanglement dilution avoids this obstruction by retaining only a high-weight quantum typical subspace, whose dimension has logarithm . Exact finite-block conversion and asymptotically faithful conversion are different tasks.
