Detection methods to rule out completely co-positive and bi-entangling operations

Abstract

In this work we extend the quantum channel detection method developed in [Phys. Rev. A 88, 042335 (2013)] and [Phys. Script. T153, 014044 (2013)] in order to detect other interesting convex sets of quantum channels. First we work out a procedure to detect non completely co-positive maps. Then we focus on the set of so-called bi-entangling operations and show how a map outside this set can be revealed. In both cases we provide explicit examples showing the theoretical technique and the corresponding experimental procedure.
