Tensors vs Entanglement
summary
Quick primer on entanglement transformability: bipartite states are comparable by Schmidt coefficients majorization (Nielsen) so LOCC conversion iff the ordered Schmidt probabilities majorize; LOCC never increases Schmidt rank. Stochastic LOCC (SLOCC) reduces to existence of local matrices — A⊗B⊗C criterion — so convertibility equals a GL-orbit restriction (Vidal lemma). Examples: GHZ and EPR pairs, tensor powers map to tensor rank (e.g. needing 2^m EPRs to realize rank-2^m tensors) and the matrix multiplication tensor appears as a multipartite target.
