We provide operational definition of symmetry of entanglement: An
entangled state contains symmetric entanglement if its subsystems can be
exchanged (swapped) by means of local operations and classical
communication. We show that in general states have asymmetric
entanglement. This allows to construct nonsymmetric measure of
entanglement, and a parameter that reports asymmetry of entanglement
contents of quantum state. We propose asymptotic measure of asymmetry of
entanglement, and show that states for which it is nonzero, contain
necessarily bound entanglement.
