Problem

Are two-way distillible entanglement and secret key rate lockable?

Background

An entanglement measure is lockable, if it is extremely sensitive to the loss of a single qubit by one of the partners [1]. In this paper it is shown that entanglement of formation, entanglement cost, logarithmic negativity, and all convex, asymptotically discontinuous entanglement measures are lockable. More recently [2], also squashed entanglement has been shown to be lockable.
