<Martin Bodo Plenio> and <Daniel Jonathan> showed that a shared auxiliary <entangled state> can enable a deterministic <LOCC> conversion that is impossible for the original pair of pure <quantum states> alone. The auxiliary <quantum state> is returned unchanged and uncorrelated with the output, so it acts as a catalyst for <entanglement catalysis>. The key distinction is between consuming an extra resource and using one that can be recovered: a <majorization> obstruction for the original <Schmidt coefficients> can disappear after including the catalyst's <Schmidt coefficients>.<Entanglement-assisted local manipulation of pure quantum states by Daniel Jonathan and Martin B. Plenio>[Abstract and explicit catalytic pure-state conversion]{ref}
