The PPT-squared conjecture for entanglement-breaking quantum channels
The PPT-squared conjecture for entanglement-breaking quantum channels
Let denote the matrix algebra in the paper. A linear map is PPT if it is completely positive and completely copositive, meaning that both and are completely positive, where transpose is taken with respect to the computational basis of . A map is entanglement breaking if, for every and every positive semidefinite , the matrix is separable. conjecture. If are PPT, then is entanglement breaking. This conjecture concerns whether the composition of any two PPT maps necessarily destroys entanglement, and is a central question in the theory of entanglement-breaking channels.
