Abstract
Most of the existing distillation protocols only work for binary-input binary-output nonlocal boxes (two-dimensional boxes), and they cannot be generalized to the binary-input multi-output nonlocal boxes (high-dimensional boxes) in a trivial way. We will design some comparator-based protocols to distill high-dimensional nonlocal boxes. Our protocols are more powerful and universal than the previous ones in the sense that they can distill the arbitrary-dimensional boxes rather than the limited two-dimensional ones. The initial nonlocalities and the wiring manners between the boxes are two main factors deciding the distillation efficiency.

Local operations are local classical operations, such as connecting users’ inputs and outputs.
