Use deterministic two-qubit entanglement dilution, retaining the specified complex probability amplitudes. Alice implements a quantum instrument on with Kraus operatorsThe Kraus representation completeness condition holds even for complex :To realize this using the permitted quantum gates and a basic measurement, Alice initializes an ancilla qubit to . Conditional on her computational-basis state being , she applies to the unitary matrixEach has orthonormal columns. Therefore is a unitary gate, withA computational-basis measurement of implements the desired quantum instrument. Its two unnormalized branches on areEach has probability . Alice sends her outcome as one classical bit. For , both parties keep their qubits unchanged. For , both apply a Pauli X gate, givingThus both outcomes produce the exact target using one classical bit and local operations. The construction includes or and arbitrary relative quantum phases; it requires no quantum channel between the parties.
