We experimentally demonstrate a protocol for entanglement distribution by a separable quantum system. In our experiment, two spatially separated modes of an electromagnetic field get entangled by local operations, classical communication, and transmission of a correlated but separable mode between them. This highlights the utility of quantum correlations beyond entanglement for the establishmen...

Improvement of informative and telecommunication technologies have caused to create much heterogeneous information. In addition with increasing various information resources in ontology formats, the importance of managing these heterogeneous resources is increased. Despite most matchers use different measures for finding the mappings, some semantic inconsistencies in final alignment are inevita...
