Generalized resource theory of purity: one-shot purity distillation with local noisy operations and one way classical communication.

We investigate the problem of producing local pure states by performing local noisy operations assisted by one-way classical communication on a given bipartite mixed state in the one-shot setting. We consider the following two scenarios:1)Scenario I: A party, say Alice, is provided with a single copy of some quantum state ρ ^A on system A. The task for Alice is to extract pure qubit states using only noisy operations on A. We call this task purity concentration.2)Scenario II: Two parties, Alice and Bob possess the A and B sub-systems, respectively, of a given bipartite quantum state ρ ^AB . They are allowed to perform any local noisy operations and communicate via a one-way dephasing (i.e., classical) channel. The task for them is to design a protocol using these resources such that together they can extract pure local qubit states from the shared state ρ ^AB . We call this task local purity distillation.
