Remote Sampling with Applications to General Entanglement Simulation

We show how to sample exactly discrete probability distributions whose defining parameters are distributed among remote parties. For this purpose, von Neumann’s rejection algorithm is turned into a distributed sampling communication protocol. We study the expected number of bits communicat...
