This report gives a lower bound of entanglement cost for antisymmetric states of bipartite d-level systems to be log 2 d d−1 ebit (for d = 3, Ec ≥ 0.585 . . . ). The paper [1] claims that the value is equal to one ebit for d = 3 , since all of the eigenvalues of reduced matrix of any pure states affiliating to H − is not greater than 2 −N thus the von Neumann entropy is not less than N , but th...

Bananas are cultivated in more than 120 countries and on the five continents in tropical and subtropical areas [7]. Bananas production is the fourth most significant of the world in terms of tonnage, after rice, wheat and maize. In 2013, world production was estimated at more than 106 million tons, of which 2 million produced in Caribbean [8]. However, only a small part is produced for commerci...
