Abstract: State merging is a fundamental protocol in quantum information theory that generalizes quantum teleportation. Traditionally, it is achieved by local operations on shared entanglement and classical communication. In this work, we study state merging done with alpha-bits, a versatile quantum communication resource weaker than qubits. We study alpha-bit state merging with and without catalytic entanglement, and we find a potential gap between the rates of alpha-bits consumed. In light of our result, we discuss how to interpret entanglement wedge reconstruction in AdS/CFT in terms of alpha-bit state merging
