Entanglement transformation with no classical communication

We present an optimal scheme to realize the transformations between single copies of two bipartite entangled states without classical communication between the sharing parties. The scheme achieves the upper bound for the success probabilities [PRA 63, 022301 (2001), PRL 83, 1455 (1999)] of generating maximally entangled states if applied to entanglement concentration. Such strategy also dispenses with the interaction with an ancilla system in the implementation. We also show that classical communications are indispensable in realizing the deterministic transformations of a single bipartite entangled state. With a finite number of identical pairs of two entangled bosons, on the other hand, we can realize the deterministic transformation to any target entangled state of equal or less Schmidt rank through an extension of the scheme.
