Mar 12, 2018 at 12:38 comment added Nathaniel Johnston @Tobias - That's not true -- the partial transpose of the standard rank-1 maximally-entangled state in $M_2 \otimes M_2$ has rank 4. The partial transpose swaps the $b_i$ and $y_j$ terms in your sum, so you can no longer necessarily split up the sum over $i$ and the sum over $j$.
Mar 11, 2018 at 20:10 comment added Tobias Fritz The operation that you're performing there is also called 'partial transposition'. It's not hard to show that partial transposition preserves rank, by simply computing that the partial transpose of a rank one matrix again has rank one. Just write the rank one matrix explicitly as $(\sum_i a_i\otimes b_i)(\sum_j x_j \otimes y_j)^T$ and compute the partial transpose.

Minor edits because $\prime$ did not denote transposition

Mar 11, 2018 at 7:59 comment added Federico Poloni For the benefits of other readers, the same matrices written with Kronecker product notation: $M = \sum_{i=1}^r A_i \otimes B_i, \, M' = \sum_{i=1}^r A_i \otimes B_i^T$.
