This is a manuscript I am particularly happy with. It concerns topics I have already been working on for my PhD, namely good old entanglement theory, going back to the work of Bennett and others. Yet it still has a fresh flavour, relating the subject to modern developments in quantum computing. I also like its “rebellious” aspect, since it points out that the operations commonly applied in mainstream entanglement theory are inefficient and require superpolynomial resources. If one reasonably restricts to efficient operations, the theory is actually altered quite drastically — which surprised us. I am glad to see this work in press in #NaturePhysics. https://lnkd.in/d3csdbVv Thanks to the wonderful dream team of Lorenzo Leone, Jacopo Rizzo, and Sofiène Jerbi for making this possible. A nice press release of the Freie Universität Berlin can be found here. https://lnkd.in/dkdTaq2R And we thank the funders at the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (Quantensysteme), BERLIN QUANTUM, Munich Quantum Valley, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation, QuantERA, Quantum Flagship and the European Research Council (ERC). We also sincerely thank the editor for the usually professional handling and the referees for the scrutinizing and careful reports.
