Purification of two-qubit mixed states

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We find the necessary and sufficient condition under which two two-qubit mixed states can be purified into a pure maximally entangled state by local operations and classical communication. The optimal protocol for such transformation is obtained. This result leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for the exact purification of nn copies of a two-qubit state.
