Abstract

We present an entanglement purification protocol for Bell-diagonal mixed states and show that this protocol has improved yields over the recurrence methods and the method proposed by Maneva-Smolin. We then generalize this protocol to a family, and show that this family is also a generalization of the recurrence method, the modified recurrence method and the method proposed by Maneva-Smolin. We show that the yields of these protocols on the Werner state ρF are higher than those of universal hashing for F less than 0.99999 and as F goes to 1.
