dc.descriptionLet M and N be full matrix algebras. A unital completely positive (UCP) map ϕ:M\to N is said to preserve entanglement if its inflation ϕ\otimes \id_N : M\otimes N\to N\otimes N has the following property: for every maximally entangled pure state ρof N\otimes N, ρ\circ(ϕ\otimes \id_N) is an entangled state of M\otimes N. We show that there is a dichotomy in that every UCP map that is not entanglement breaking in the sense of Horodecki-Shor-Ruskai must preserve entanglement, and that entanglement preserving maps of every possible rank exist in abundance. We also show that with probability 1, {\em all} UCP maps of relatively small rank preserve entanglement, but that this is not so for UCP maps of maximum rank.
