Abstract
We argue that on its face, entanglement theory satisfies laws equivalent to thermodynamics if the theory can be made reversible by adding certain bound entangled states as a free resource during entanglement manipulation. Subject to plausible assumptions, we prove that this is not the case in general, and discuss the implications of this for the thermodynamics of entanglement.
