We propose a scheme of multipartite entanglement distillation driven by a complementary pair of stabilizer measurements to distill directly a wider range of states beyond the stabilizer code states (such as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states). We make our idea explicit by constructing a recurrence protocol for the 3-qubit state [formula: see text]. Noisy states resulting from typical decohe...

We investigate Gaussian quantum states in view of their exceptional role within the space of all continuous variables states. A general method for deriving extremality results is provided and applied to entanglement measures, secret key distillation and the classical capacity of bosonic quantum channels. We prove that for every given covariance matrix the distillable secret key rate and the ent...

The fully thermally coupled distillation column offers an alternative to conventional distillation towers, with the possibility of savings in both energy and capital costs. This innovative and promising alternative provides the opportunity to separate a multicomponent mixture into fractions with high purities merely in one column. A lack of knowledge still exists when dealing with the startup o...

the simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. in this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. the effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. the results show signi...

We present the optimal local protocol to distill a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state from a single copy of any pure state of three qubits.
