Abstract

In quantum mechanics, there is no measurement process that could gain some information of an unknown quantum state without causing any disturbance. A tradeoff bound between the amount of information gain G and the concomitant disturbance F in the measurement process of a bipartite entangled state is actually ingrained. Such a bound is fundamental and closely connected with the entangled degree b. In this work, the bound for estimation of a partial entangled state with a local strategy is investigated. It is shown that, with local operation with classical communication, a monotonic change in the F-G picture will be spotted. This is due to the fact that the partial entanglement gradually becomes two individual qubits and, consequently, the optimal operation boils down to local operations. A quantum circuit which achieves the optimal tradeoff is also obtained.
