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 and the concomitant disturbance 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 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.

We consider the optimal measurement procedures for estimating an unknown maximally entangled state with local operations and classical communications (LOCC). By the ``optimal,'' we mean that there is no other LOCC measurements that can provide a higher estimation fidelity. In fact, we first use the positive partial transpose constraint to obtain an upper bound of the fidelity; then, we show there exists a kind of LOCC measurement that can attain such a bound. The estimation fidelity of the optimal LOCC estimation procedures is $\frac{D+2}{(D+1){D}^{2}}$ with $D$ denoting the dimension of the relevant quantum system.

We solve the problem of the optimal cloning of pure entangled two-qubit states with a fixed degree of entanglement using local operations and classical communication. We show that, amazingly, classical communication between the parties can improve the fidelity of local cloning if and only if the initial entanglement is higher than a certain critical value. It is completely useless for weakly entangled states. We also show that bound entangled states with positive partial transpose are not useful as a resource to improve the best local cloning fidelity.
