Abstract

The distillability conjecture of two-copy \(4\times 4\) Werner states is one of the main open problems in quantum information (https://​arxiv.​org/​abs/​2002.​03233, P. Horodecki, L. Rudnicki, and K. Zyczkowski). We prove three special cases of the conjecture in terms of the \(4\times 4\) non-normal matrices AB involved in the conjecture. The first case, namely the main result of this paper, occurs when AB are monomial matrices. Then, we apply it to the remaining two cases. One case occurs when AB both have at most two nonzero entries. The other case works for rank-one A and some rank-two B. Our results present the latest progress on the conjecture.
