Understanding the problem

Read the background

An explicit trace-preserving PPT channel on 21-by-21 complex matrices has a square that is not entanglement breaking.

Why it matters

If correct, refutes the same-channel form of the PPT-squared conjecture for finite-dimensional quantum channels.

What counts as progress

Must the square of every trace-preserving PPT channel be entanglement breaking?
