Finite-Copy Distillability of NPT States in the DiVincenzo Family

Whether negative-partial-transpose states undistillable from one copy become distillable from finitely many copies is a basic open problem in entanglement theory. In the canonical two-parameter DiVincenzo family used as its symmetry-reduced testbed, a distinguished one-copy-undistillable state is shown to be two-copy distillable in every local dimension d >= 3, disproving the conjecture that the family's whole one-copy-undistillable region stays undistillable for arbitrarily many copies.

Finite-Copy Distillability of NPT States in the DiVincenzo Family

Prior state unknowndisproved

Partial deliberately: the NPT bound entanglement problem itself is untouched. What falls is the conjecture about the canonical family, and the paper is explicit that a substantial neighbouring region remains unresolved while another is known two-copy undistillable.
