Copying of entangled states and the degradation of correlations

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v1

Abstract

We investigate the degree to which entanglement survives when a correlated pair of two-state systems are copied using either local or non-local processes. We show how the copying process degrades the entanglement, due to a residual correlation between the copied output and the copying machine (itself made of qubits).
