Key points

  • It completely resolves the 2-copy distillability problem for Werner states in arbitrary dimensions.
  • It proves that the 1-copy and 2-copy distillation thresholds are exactly the same, showing that the second copy provides no advantage.
  • It uses geometric estimates on symmetric and antisymmetric tensor subspaces as the key tool.
  • It resolves the first finite-copy step of the broader open problem of NPT-state distillability.
  • At the boundary case α = -1/2, the proof combines block-operator inequalities with variational methods.
