Abstract
Entanglement between distant quantum systems is a critical resource for implementing quantum communication. This property is affected by external agents and can be restored by employing efficient entanglement purification protocols. In this work, we propose an entanglement purification protocol based on two entangling two-qubit operations that replace the usual controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. These operations arise from a generalized quantum measurement and can be understood as measurement operators in a positive operator-valued measure (POVM). Furthermore, two variants of the core protocol are introduced and shown to be more practical in certain scenarios. The performance of the protocols is studied in terms of the overall success probability of reaching a Bell state and the number of purifiable states. Based on rank-two states, we can obtain analytical expressions for the success probability that we extend and refine using numerical calculations to the case of maximally entangled states (MEMS). We also consider more general rank-three states to show that our procedure is in general more convenient compared to purification protocols based on Bell diagonal states. Finally, we test the protocols using initial random states. In all cases, we find a larger performance and larger amount of purifiable states using our schemes compared to the CNOT-based purification protocol.
