Local noise can enhance entanglement teleportation
  Recently we have considered two-qubit teleportation via mixed states of four qubits and defined the generalized singlet fraction. For single-qubit teleportation, Badziag {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 62}, 012311 (2000)] and Bandyopadhyay [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 65}, 022302 (2002)] have obtained a family of entangled two-qubit mixed states whose teleportation fidelity can be enhanced by subjecting one of the qubits to dissipative interaction with the environment via an amplitude damping channel. Here, we show that a dissipative interaction with the local environment via a pair of time-correlated amplitude damping channels can enhance fidelity of entanglement teleportation for a class of entangled four-qubit mixed states. Interestingly, we find that this enhancement corresponds to an enhancement in the quantum discord for some states.
