Single-copy Werner filtering cannot increase concurrence
ID: single-copy-werner-filtering-cannot-increase-concurrence
Combine the single-copy Werner filtering normalization bound with concurrence scaling under invertible local filters. Every complete classical record of local operations and classical communication has a product filter ; singular branches are separable. Thus every retained branch has concurrence at most that of the input. Coarse-graining successful records preserves the bound by convexity. Since concurrence of a two-qubit Werner state increases strictly with , no successful single-copy protocol can output a Werner state with larger . Several input copies permit collective distillation and are outside this statement.
