Here, we extend catalytic EC from pure states to mixed states and numerically benchmark it against non-catalytic EC and distillation in the presence of state-preparation errors and operational errors. Furthermore, we analyse the re-usability of catalysts in the presence of such errors. To do this, we introduce a novel recipe for determining the positive-operator valued measurements (POVM) required for EC transformations, which allows for making tradeoffs between the number of communication rounds and the number of auxiliary qubits required. We find that in the presence of low operational errors and depolarising noise, catalytic EC can provide better rates than distillation and non-catalytic EC.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.05964v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.05964v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"catalytic-entanglement-transformations-with","repo_url":"https://github.com/arr0w-hs/catalytic_concentration","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
