One-shot static entanglement cost of bipartite quantum channels

Abstract

We first investigate the one-shot static entanglement cost to simulate a bipartite quantum channel under the set of non-entangling channels. The lower bound on the static entanglement cost is given by the generalized robustness of the target channel as well as the robust-generating power of the channel, which implies that the cost necessary to generate a bipartite quantum channel might not be retrievable in general. Next, we conceive a set of quantum channels that extends the set of non-entangling channels. We find out that the one-shot static entanglement cost under the extended set of channels is given by the channel's standard log-robustness. This gives the one-shot dynamic entanglement cost under a set of free superchannels that do not generate dynamic entanglement resource; the extended set is shown to be equivalent to the set of free superchannels.
