Local correlations of mixed two-qubit states

The quantum probability distribution arising from single-copy von Neumann measurements on an arbitrary two-qubit state is decomposed into the local and nonlocal parts, in the approach of Elitzur, Popescu and Rohrlich [A. Elitzur, S. Popescu, D. Rohrlich, Phys. Lett. A 162 (1992) 25]. A lower bound of the local weight is proved being connected with the concurrence of the state pLmax=1−C(ρ). The local probability distributions for two families of mixed states are constructed independently, which accord with the lower bound.
