22. The measures distillable entanglement and entanglement cost specify certain optimal conversion rates: these are the rates that can be achieved in an asymptotic extraction of and preparation procedure starting from maximally entangled qubit pairs. These procedures are thought to be implemented by employing local quantum operations and classical communication (LOCC) only [10, 17].

27. This is the transposition with respect to one part of a bipartite quantum system. If the resulting partial transpose is a positive operator, then the original state is said to have a positive partial transpose. See A. Peres, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 1413 (1996).
