Abstract

It is known that there exist two locally operational settings, local operations with one-way and two-way classical communication. And recently, some sets of maximally entangled states have been built in specific dimensional quantum systems, which can be locally distinguished only with two-way classical communication. In this paper, we show the existence of such sets is general, through constructing such sets in all the remaining quantum systems. Specifically, such sets including p or n maximally entangled states will be built in the quantum system of (np − 1) ⊗ (np − 1) with n ≥ 3 and p being a prime number, which completes the picture that such sets do exist in every possible dimensional quantum system.

Highlights

  • All the existing results do not cover every possible dimensional quantum system, that is, it is still unknown whether the existence of 2-LOCC sets is general or restricted to specific dimensions

  • Because of np − 1 =p(n − 1) +(p − 1) = n(p − 1) + (n − 1), n ≥ 3, we can construct p or n MESs as 2-LOCC sets in the remaining quantum systems, which ensures the general existence of 2-LOCC sets in every possible dimensional quantum system

  • The above “a + 1” orthogonal MESs in the quantum system of [(a + 1)r + a] ⊗ [(a + 1)r + a] can help us to explain the existence of 2-LOCC sets in d ⊗ d quantum system with d ∈ {np − 1, n ≥ 3}, which will prove the fact that 2-LOCC sets are ubiquitous regardless of the dimension of quantum system

Summary

Results

It has already been proved in refs 15 and 16 that there exist 2-LOCC sets in the quantum system of 2m ⊗ 2m, (3r + 2) ⊗(3r + 2), 4m ⊗ 4m, 2Rm ⊗ 2Rm and 4Rm ⊗ 4Rm, where R = 2r with r and m being a positive integer. When the dimension number belongs to {p − 1}, which must be even, 2-LOCC sets have been presented in ref. To show the 1-LOCC indistinguishability of the a + 1 maximally entangled states, we assume there exists a POVM measurement {Mk} with every operators Mk all rank-1 to discriminate the above set of states perfectly, which is the necessary and sufficient condition[15] of 1-LOCC distinguishability. To discriminate the present a + 1 states with certainty, Bob should find out rank-1 measurement operators, one column of W, such that ( ) (u†, v†)(VjT )†ViT u v
