# Remote preparation of W states from imperfect bipartite sources

Remote preparation of W states from imperfect bipartite sources Several proposals to produce tripartite W-type entanglement are probabilistic even if no imperfections are considered in the processes. We provide a deterministic way to remotely create W states out of an EPR source. The proposal is made viable through measurements (which can be demolitive) in an appropriate three-qubit basis. The protocol becomes probabilistic only when source flaws are considered. It turns out that, even in this situation, it is robust against imperfections in two senses: (i) It is possible, after postselection, to create a pure ensemble of W states out of an EPR source containing a systematic error; (ii) If no postselection is done, the resulting mixed state has a fidelity, with respect to a pure $$|W\rangle$$ | W ⟩ , which is higher than that of the imperfect source in comparison with an ideal EPR source. This simultaneously amounts to entanglement concentration and lifting. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Quantum Information Processing Springer Journals
