Abstract
We present the positive-partial-transpose squared conjecture introduced by M. Christandl at Banff International Research Station Workshop: Operator Structures in Quantum Information Theory (Banff International Research Station, Alberta, 2012). We investigate the conjecture in higher dimensions and offer two novel approaches (decomposition and composition of quantum channels) and correspondingly, several schemes for finding counterexamples to this conjecture. One of the schemes involving the composition of PPT quantum channels in unsolved dimensions yields a potential counterexample.
