  "abstract": "We present a universal entanglement distillation protocol that asymptotically achieves the distillable entanglement of any unknown bipartite state in a fixed finite dimension. That is, its ebit yield attains every rate below the optimum that would be available if the state were known, with vanishing trace-distance error. Our approach combines tomography by local operations and classical communication with an adaptive distillation routine, using a local robustness lemma to control finite-sample estimation errors. We also characterize worst-case distillation from a family of states: the optimal uniform rate is the minimum distillable entanglement on the family's closure. These results show that ignorance of the state need not incur an asymptotic rate penalty.",
