A simple scheme to prepare an entanglement between two separated qubits froma given mixed state is proposed. A single qubit (entanglement mediator) isrepeatedly made to interact locally and consecutively with the two qubitsthrough rotating-wave couplings and is then measured. It is shown that we needto repeat this kind of process only three times to establish a maximallyentangled state directly from an arbitrary initial mixed state, with no need toprepare the state of the qubits in advance or to rearrange the setup step bystep. Furthermore, the maximum yield realizable with this scheme is compatiblewith the maximum entanglement, provided that the coupling constants areproperly tuned.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures; the version accepted for publication (with the new title
