Our proof holds for any Hilbert space of finite dimension. Although our result is proven for a specific class of PPT states, we show that our bound nonetheless holds for all known entangled PPT states with non-zero distillable key rates whether or not they are in our special class.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-02T02:44:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "positive partial transposition", "geometric distance", "private state", "quantum states", "analytic positive lower bound" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Letters in Mathematical Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Apr", "volume": 92, "number": 1, "pages": 67 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010LMaPh..92...67K" } } }
