“…States as in (53) are separable-III for they are isomorphic to |0 ⊗k ⊗ |1 ⊗(N −k) ∈ h k ⊗ h N −k , according to equation (70) in A. Thus, states in quantum protocols with two-level particles cannot, at any time during the process, be entangled-III although these states provide quantum enhanced performances not only for interferometric phase estimation [151,152,153,174,154,175] but also for teleportation [176,177,178,179,114,115], entanglement distillation [176,177], quantum data hiding [180], and Bell's inequalities [181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193]. The same argument holds for three-level states.…”
