Robustness of Entanglement Manipulation for almost i.i.d. sources
The study investigates how entanglement manipulation protocols perform when sources are almost independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.), specifically focusing on the Mazzola–Sutter–Renner (MSR) class, which allows for small deviations from a tensor-power structure. The findings show that these robust sources maintain standard asymptotic achievability rates for tasks like concentration and dilution.
