An entanglement concentration protocol for cluster states using CNOT gate operation.

The purpose of this paper is a proposal on entanglement concentration protocol for cluster states. The protocol uses CNOT gate operation and is assisted with a single qubit. Moreover, the local and non-local operations are performed by a single party. We also make a comparative numerical study of the residual entanglement left out after the execution of each step of the protocol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
