Optimal Remote State Preparation
Dominic W. Berry, Barry Cyril Sanders · Physical Review Letters · 2003
We prove that it is possible to remotely prepare an ensemble of noncommuting mixed states using communication equal to the Holevo information for this ensemble. This remote preparation scheme may be used to convert between different ensembles of mixed states in an asymptotically lossless way, analogous to concentration and dilution for entanglement.
