Abstract

We present the positive-partial-transpose (PPT) square conjecture introduced by M. Christandl Banff International Research Station Workshop: Operator Structures in Quantum Information Theory (Banff International Research Station, Alberta, 2012). We prove the conjecture in the case n=3 as a consequence of the fact that two-qutrit PPT states have Schmidt number of at most 2. The PPT square conjecture in the case of n4 is still open. We present an example to support the conjecture for n=4.
