Entanglement purification for arbitrary unknown ionic states via linear optics
arXiv:quant-ph/0312087 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.71.012308
Abstract
An entanglement purification scheme for arbitrary unknown(mixed and pure non-maximally) entangled ionic states is proposed by using linear optical elements. The main advantage of the scheme is that not only two-ion maximally entangled pairs but also four-ion maximally entangled pairs can be extracted from the less entangled pairs. The scheme is within current technology.
