We develop the probabilistic implementation of a nonlocal gate $\exp{[i\xi{\sigma_{n_A}}\sigma_{n_B}]}$ and $\xi\in[0,\frac\pi4]$, by using a single non-maximally entangled state. We prove that, nonlocal gates can be implemented with a…

We provide several applications of a previously introduced isomorphism between physical operations acting on two systems and entangled states [1]. We show: (i) how to implement (weakly) non-local two qubit unitary operations with a small…
The information obtained from the operation of a quantum gate on only two complementary sets of input states is sufficient to estimate the quantum process fidelity of the gate. In the case of entangling gates, these conditions can be used…
