TLDR
Upper and lower bounds on the yield of pure singlets ($\ket{\Psi^-}$) distillable from mixed states $M$ are given, showing $D(M)>0$ if $\bra{Psi-}M\ket-}>\half$.Abstract:
Two separated observers, by applying local operations to a supply of not-too-impure entangled states (e.g., singlets shared through a noisy channel), can prepare a smaller number of entangled pairs of arbitrarily high purity (e.g., near-perfect singlets). These can then be used to faithfully teleport unknown quantum states from one observer to the other, thereby achieving faithful transmission of quantum information through a noisy channel. We give upper and lower bounds on the yield $D\left(M\right)$ of pure singlets $(|{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}〉)$ distillable from mixed states $M$, showing $D\left(M\right)g0$ if $〈{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}|M|{\ensuremath{\Psi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}〉g\frac{1}{2}$.read more

Entanglement purification for quantum communication
TL;DR: This work presents a scheme for the entanglement purification of general mixed entangled states, which achieves 50 per cent of the success probability of schemes based on the CNOT operation, but requires only simple linear optical elements.

TL;DR: The results open the way towards the fabrication of solid state triggered sources of entangled photon pairs, with an overall efficiency of 80%, by coupling an optical cavity in the form of a ‘photonic molecule’ to a single quantum dot.

Concentrating partial entanglement by local operations
TL;DR: Any pure or mixed entangled state of two systems can be produced by two classically communicating separated observers, drawing on a supply of singlets as their sole source of entanglement.

Generalized privacy amplification
TL;DR: This paper provides a general treatment of privacy amplification by public discussion, a concept introduced by Bennett, Brassard, and Robert for a special scenario, and yields results on wiretap and broadcast channels for a considerably strengthened definition of secrecy capacity.
