For the paper Estimate Distillable Entanglement and Quantum Capacity by Squeezing Useless Entanglement: We propose methods to evaluate distillable entanglement and quantum capacity by squeezing useless entanglement from a state or channel. We introduce a resource measure called reverse divergence of resources to quantify the difference between a target state and free states. Then, we use reverse divergence of entanglement to establish upper bounds on distillable entanglement and quantum capacity. Our method has practical applications for purifying maximally entangled states under practical noises, such as depolarizing and amplitude damping noises, leading to improvements in estimating the one-way distillable entanglement. Our bounds also offer useful benchmarks for evaluating the quantum capacities of qubit quantum channels of interest, including the Pauli channels and the random mixed unitary channels.
