We show that, in a multi-party setting, two non-distillable (bound-entangled)states tensored together can make a distillable state. This is an example oftrue superadditivity of distillable entanglement. We also show that unlockablebound-entangled states cannot be asymptotically unentangled, providing thefirst proof that some states are truly bound-entangled in the sense of beingboth non-distillable and non-separable asymptotically.
