Abstract

We can only perform finite rounds of measurements in protocols with local operations and classical communication (LOCC). In this paper, we propose a set of product states that require infinite rounds of measurements in order to distinguish this given set of states perfectly by LOCC. Therefore, we can conclude that these sets of states are locally indistinguishable. More accurately, given any multipartite LOCC indistinguishable set where every local system cannot start with a nontrivial measurement, then after appending these states with arbitrarily choosing two nonorthogonal states, we obtain another LOCC indistinguishable set. It can be seen that some parties can perform some nontrivial measurements. Hence, these sets are quite different from those constructed before. This result broadens the knowledge of nonlocality without entanglement to a certain extent.
