Quantum Error Correction (QEC) codes aim to protect the information in fragile quantum states by encoding them into a larger Hilbert space; Entanglement Purification (EP) protocols aim to distill higher entanglement from a number of identically prepared copies of lower entanglement. It is known that QEC codes can be recast as EP schemes and vice-versa [1]. Through concurrence, we characterize the distillation capabilities of a known error correcting code for the amplitude damping channel [2]. An upper bound is established considering the non-orthogonality of the coherent-state basis [3].
