The transformations of W-type entangled states by using local operations assisted with classical communication are investigated. For this purpose, a parametrization of the W-type states which remains invariant under local unitary transformations is proposed and a complete characterization of the local operations carried out by a single party is given. These are used for deriving the necessary and sufficient conditions for deterministic transformations. A convenient upper bound for the maximum probability of distillation of arbitrary target states is also found.

We present a powerful theorem for tripartite remote entanglement distribution protocols, which provides an operational interpretation of concurrence as a type of entanglement capacity, and we establish that concurrence of assistance, which we show is an entanglement monotone, identifies capabilities of and limitations to producing pure bipartite entangled states from pure tripartite entangled states. In addition, we show that, if concurrence of assistance for the pure tripartite state is at least as large as the concurrence of the desired pure bipartite state, then the former may be transformed to the latter via local operations and classical communication, and we calculate the maximum probability for this transformation when this condition is not met.PACS Nos.: 03.67.Mn, 03.67.Hk, 03.65.Ud
