The Distillability Conjecture for bipartite NPT states

Let ρ\rho be a bipartite quantum state. It is NPT if its partial transpose is not positive semidefinite, and indistillable if no tensor power of ρ\rho is 11-distillable. Distillability Conjecture. There exist indistillable bipartite NPT states.

This is the problem of whether bound NPT entangled states exist; it is known to have an affirmative answer in local dimension 22 only for the complementary question of distillability, while the conjectured existence of such states remains open in dimensions at least 33.
