Abstract
If two parties, Alice and Bob, share some number, n, of partially entangled pairs of qubits, then it is possible for them to concentrate these pairs i nto some smaller number of maximally entangled states. We present a simplif ied version of the algorithm for such entanglement concentration, and we de scribe efficient networks for implementing these operations.
