contents Two pure orthogonal quantum states can be perfectly distinguished by sequential local action of multiple pairs of parties. However, this process typically leads to the complete dissolution of entanglement in the states being discriminated. We propose a protocol that allows an arbitrary number of pairs of parties to distinguish between any two orthogonal, entangled, two-qubit pure states using local quantum operations and classical communication, with a success probability greater than that of random guessing, while ensuring that at each step, the individual ensemble states retain a finite amount of entanglement. Our protocol employs the minimum-error state discrimination approach. For demonstrating the retention of entanglement in the ensemble states at each step, we use logarithmic negativity as well as the concept of entanglement witnessing. For a large family of sets of the two states, the success probability of discrimination can be as close as required to unity, while sustaining a finite amount of entanglement in each step.
