Abstract

It is known that distillation in continuous variable resource theories is impossible when restricted to Gaussian states and operations. To overcome this limitation, we enlarge the theories to include convex mixtures of Gaussian states and operations. This extension is operationally well-motivated since classical randomness is easily accessible. We find that resource distillation becomes possible for convex Gaussian resource theories-albeit in a limited fashion. We derive this limitation by studying the convex roof extension of a Gaussian resource measure and then go on to show that our bound is tight by means of example protocols for the distillation of squeezing and entanglement.
